*Note: Eddie here will be diving around on his whammy bar after hitting the
open note on the G string. The v---- indicates the start of his
whammy bar antics.
Note: Again, the below notes are all whammy-bar induced. The v1.5 and v2.5
indicates that the whammy bar is being dropped to those specific steps.
The /\/\/ indicate up and down jagged movements of the bar. The
harmonic and rake notes refer to the notes played (all while being
warped by the whammy bar). Finally, the vibrato notes indicate the
shaking of the bar.
