Tuned down 1/2-step

figure and that little triplet flurry kicks ass. It's a monster groove. 
Speaking of that triplet thing, look out. Whether you play with fingers
or pick, this thing almost needs to be raked (or sweeped if you prefer
that terminology). Gene himself has some trouble with the line and botches 
a few notes here and there. Since they would be notated as ghost-notes
I've chosen not to indicate them here.


Key:
/    = slide up
\    = slide down
b    = bend (whole step)
b^   = bend (1/2 step)
b^^  = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb   = pre-bend
r    = release-bend
t    = tap with righthand finger
h    = hammer-on
p    = pull-off
~    = Vibrato
*    = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
**   = Artificial Harmonic
x    = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\)  = Dive w\bar
(/)  = Release w\bar
Tp   = Tap w\plectrum
