Dropped D Tuning DADGBe 

/ = slide to 
\ = slide from 
h = hammer-on 
p = pull-off 

Usually I?m pretty strict about bar-durations and note-lengths  
(bar being |----| and note lengths being just --- in between)  
but for the convenience (of reading and creating the tab) I just did it loosely this time.
