------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miscellaneous info: Note: In the transcription of the chorus, the moving parallel thirds on the 2nd and 3rd strings are the piano part, presented for information and completeness. I don't mean to suggest that both parts be played by one guitarist (certainly not when it gets to the [35576-]). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ************************************ Tab Special Notations: ----0---- play the open string ('fret zero-') ----5---------------------------------------') play fret five ----5~--------------------------------------') play fret five with vibrato ---5/7--------------------------------------') play fret five, slide up to fret seven ---7\5--------------------------------------') play fret seven, slide down to fret five --8b(9)-------------------------------------') play fret eight, bend the string (at fret eight) to reach the pitch of fret nine --b(9)8-- play fret eight already bent to the pitch of fret nine, unbending until it reaches the normal pitch of fret eight ----h7---') hammer-on to fret seven ----p5---') pull-off to fret five ---/7----') slide up to fret 7 (the starting fret of the slide is undefined, judge by ear) ---15\--- play fret 15, slide down (the ending fret of the slide is undefined, judge by ear) ---0h3--- play the open string and immediately hammer-on to fret three ---7p5--- play fret seven and immediately pull-off to fret five ************************************
