the lead parts for the great song Aftershock by Andy James
difficulty : intermediate/advanced
(there are some parts that a beginner could do)
listen to the song for the timing
b = bend
s = slide
v = vibrato
t = tap
p = pull of
h = hammer on
m = mute with left hand
brv = bend release vibrato
brp = bend release pull off
wbp = wait before pulling of
sb = slow bend
I think the tab is at least 98% accurate so i might update it later
