- Some explanations:
- 1.For the intro and RIFF 7 you must fret the low E string on the 1st
- fret, prebend a whole step and then release (that's what the R means).
- 2.Blank columns (as in Riff 1) do not count in timing. They are used
- only to distinguish the tab numbers.
- 3.p=p
- ull-off h=hammer on
-
