How to decipher my notation: top line is guitar type (if it is necessary to point out), 2nd line is lyrics, 3rd line is chord names, 4th is treble rhythm. Then the TAB, and under that is bass rhythm. You'll figure it out. Notation: s - sixteenth note e - eighth note q - quarter note h - half note w - whole note ^ - ties two note lengths together . - play note for one and a half times the value before it (just like a dot in standard notation) NOTE LENGTHS IN CAPITAL LETTERS MEAN REST FOR THAT VALUE OF TIME! / - slide up \ - slide down h - hammer-on p - pull-off (Acoustic guitar - let ring) A5 A A5 A e e e q q. e e q. q. q. e e e q q. e e h Q e e E---------|----------------|----------------|--------------------|-------------| B---------|----------------|----------------|--------------------|-------------| G---------|----------------|----------------|--------------------|-------------| D---11-12-|-12/14-14-14-12-|-11--11---11-12-|-12/14---14---14-12-|-11----11/12-| A-0-------|-0--------------|-(0)----0-------|-(0)---0----0-------|-(0)-0-------| E---------|----------------|----------------|--------------------|-------------| q. w h^e q. q q. q. h^e q.
