Artist: Aerosmith
Song: Walk This Way
Tabber: Neptune
Tuning: Standard

Key: 

h - hammer on 
p - pull off
b - microtone bend or 1/4 tone bend. 
fb - bend string up
hb - half string bend up
fhb - 3 semi tone bend (3 frets up)
r - release bend
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
v - vibrato (sometimes written as ~)
x - play 'note' with heavy damping
. - staccato (above note)
[3] - triplets. Play 3 notes in the time of 2 notes.
w/bar - use a bar for the bends. Or if you don't have one, just bend normally.

The song's rather long and tricky, so i've tabbed everthing in order. So all you
have to do is just follow the page down. So quite alot of it will be repeated,
i.e. the intro riff etc...The guitars are all distorted.

The beat is: 120 = crochet. So if you've gotta a watch you can work out the
timing accurately. Most of the lyrics are sung in semi-quavers too. But its very
hard. I can't sing and play at the same time yet. The vertical lines separate the
bars so you can get a sense of where you are. 

Song is in 4/4 time. (4 beats to a bar)
