Chords

For the tab, standard tab notation: h=hammer, p=pull, /=slide up, \=slide down, parenthesis for smooth bends (ex: 12(14)12 is a 12 bent up to the pitch of a 14 and then brought back down in one strike), ~=vibrato, and ^ for rough bends (ex: 12^14 12 is a 12 that is bent up to the pitch of a 14, released, and then a 12 is plucked). Got it? Good =) Let's proceed. Numbers above tab indicate apprx. track time. & | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | 1 2 3 4 | G* E D A * played as a single note in the low E string
