Tuning - If you don't have .13 or .14 gauge strings you're in trouble,
         it's 3 steps down (A#, D#, G#, C#, F, A#, low to high).  By
         the way, I think .14 gauge works best.

Key:
p - Pull off
v - Vibrato
b - Bend 1/4 step
* - Notes are vibrated hard enough to rapidly change pitch
^ - Tremolo pick
