My notation is not going to be 100% technically correct.
A legend for what I mean:
. - Palm Mute
\ - Slide Down
/ - Slide Up
~ - For single notes = vibrato / For chords = let ring
br - bend and release
fb - full bend and hold
b - half bend and hold
x - dead note
PH - Pinch Harmonic
h - hammer on
p - pull off
