One 12-string strumming the chords on the left and one 6-string (I think) arpeggiating chords on the right. On top of that there are what appears to be one 12-string and one 6-string doing fills (occasionally doubling each other). I¥ve chosen not to even try to indicate the rhythm of the strumming here so I¥ve just noatted the chords. The changes should be fairly obvious if listening to the album. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum Rhythm Fig. 1 Eb|--1--------0--------1----0----1----3----0---------------| Bb|--3--------1--------3----0----1----3----1---------------| Gb|--2--------0--------2----0----2----0----0---------------| Db|--0--------2--------0----2----3----0----2---------------| Ab|-----------3-------------2----3----x----3---------------| Eb|-------------------------0----1----3--------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2a Eb|--1---------1--------1----3-----------------------------| Bb|--1---------3--------1----3-----------------------------| Gb|--2---------2--------2----0-----------------------------| Db|--3----2----0--------3----0-----------------------------| Ab|---------------------3----x-----------------------------| Eb|---------------------1----3-----------------------------| < -
