[original note: 'e' stands for eighth notes, 's' for sixteenth, `q' for 
quarter, `h' for half, and, yes, even `w' for whole notes. A period 
after a note value means dotted. 
The chord parts are best played with your index finger on the B string,
middle on the G string (using pinky for pull-offs), and ring finger on 
the D string, with the thumb wrapping around and playing the low E 
string.
Sounds hard, but gets easier with practice.]
[Strumming: for main pattern (bar 10), accent every 3rd 16th -- on '+':
