Tuning: low 3 strings D down 2 steps, 3 high strings down 1/2 step.
(A#,F,A#,Gb,Bb,Eb)(i think) (Low to High)
<> natural harmonics
p pull off
h hammer on
b bend
) tremelo pick while sliding
/ slide up
\ slide down
... Keep playing until you think you should stop and move on.
o
o Repeat signs.
pm palm mute
Note: Check out the odd tuning. I have this setup for a 6-string, but it is probably played on a
7-string. I don't have a 7-string so I came up with this odd tuning. You can't just drop all your
stings down because you need the Harmonic part in riff 2, and it changes if you down tune.
