With Em/F#, the second fret note of the lowest D string is hammered on, then the second fret note of the A string is often hammered on too. There is much more going on in this song, particularly the solo, but I figured something is better than nothing. Maybe I'll get back and do a more detailed version one of these days- anyone else who wants to try is very welcome to.
