The D-tuning makes the D/F# to G chord change almost amazingly full. During the chorus the chord changes (A-A/G) are implied by the bass which is pumping eight-notes. 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. 1a (let ring throughout) D|-----------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
