( ) - kind of subtle, but it rings

the rest i dont know but its not so hard if you listen to the song

lead guitar(nylon), also slowly, after the intro by the rythm guitar.

you can replace the hammers or pulloffs with single strokes, whatever sounds better for 
but it is a single stroke in the real song. the A chord rings over the notes that 
use ur pinky to slide but hold the chord untill the slide.
