This is a vocal cover so I matched all the hammer ons, pull offs, slides, and
bends to the tone of her voice and when it changes. To see how it is played,
watch my video of it on YouTube(I have the same name on YouTube: dvon88)
Tuning:DGCFAD
Notes in () at slides are not to be picked, just slide to/from that fret to the
next fret.
