    * Go back to rhythm figure 1 and play to fadeout


  Note: I don't know how it was done, but it almost sounds like there
        is a second guitar playing a percussive part under the main
        guitar part. I tried to emulate it the best I could with the
        picking pattern.

=====================================================================

       h= hammer on
       p= pull off
       ()= ghost note (sometimes barely audible notes, optional)
       b= bend
       r= bend release
       /= slide up to note
       = slide down to note
       ~= vibrato
       t= tap note with picking hand
         = harmonics
       *
       *= repeat from beginning
