	GENERAL NOTES:
	- () Indicates full bend
	- [] Indicates slide, in this case with 3rd finger

	SPECIFIC NOTES:
	NOTE 1: This is one of Alvin Lee's trademark licks.
	After playing the first note (A) with the 3rd finger 
	lay the 1st finger flat across the three treble strings 
	slide then hammer the next notes.  It is a difficult 
	lick to master but well worth the practice required.  
	Rent the movie Woodstock and you can catch a glance of 
	the fingering.

	NOTE 2: After playing the second note of this lick slide 
	down with the first finger to the 5th fret on the third string.
