    * 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
