Notes: TAB is based on first pass of all parts.

       Standard tuning.

       Quarter notes are indicated to help with rhythmic placement.

       Two adjacent 16ths have a very quick stutter feel (stacatto).

       x = muted

       + = sustain until next note

       . = stacatto (no sustain)

       / or \ = slide

       h = hammer on
