Listen for the timing, and be fluid with the sliding!
And don't be so picky about every detail and everything, Live versions and the album
version are always different: Find your own little licks and style and have fun with the song.

And that's all of the different parts of the song.
The interlude/Intro repeats itself often between the verses and it
has a few different fills/hammer-ons in it, one of which:
                                           |nothing too hard|

You'll learn them all by listening and making your own,
they're not so hard to pick up from the song.
This isn't meant to be like a note-by-note holding hands tutorial to happiness,
All of the basic parts are there, practice your own ears and find your own style of play.
This song requires it!
