This is interpreted from Matt's performance in Nanaimo in 2006. If you don't quite understand the minor changes I'd suggest looking it up just so you can hear and see how to do it. I didn't include number of repetitions in intros and whatnot, this is just a guide. In the Demo there are alot more hammer ons in the bottom 3 strings (specifically b) so play around with it until your satisfied.
