Duration Legend
---------------
W - whole
H.- half + quarter
H - half
Q.- quarter + 8th
Q - quarter
E - 8th
S - 16th

4 quarter notes (or 8 8th notes) make up one bar in 4/4 time

3 quarter notes (or 6 8th notes) make up one bar in 6/8 time


Tablature Legend
----------------
x - dead note
+ - natural harmonic
h - hammer on
p - pull off
s - slide to
~ - vibrato
b - bend (using finger, not whammy bar)
\n/ - whammy bar dip (n = ½ [semi-tone], n = 1 [whole tone], etc.)
/n\ - whammy bar bend up


A semi-tone bend would be like bending from 4th fret to the pitch of
5th fret.

A whole-tone bend would be like bending from 4th fret to the pitch of
6th fret.

And so on.
