Tuning: D A C# E B E LEGEND:
E is tuned down to D ~ = vibrato D = downward stroke
A is left the same X = mute U = upward stroke
D is tuned down to C# / = slide down ! = percussive slap
G is tuned down to E \ = slide up * = natural harmonic
B is left the same h = hammer on # = tapped harmonic (tap fret)
e is left the same p = pull off ... = duration of a ringing note

*Note1 - Do NOT attempt to read the following section note for note.
As difficult as this was to tab, it will be even more difficult to
follow. (This is tabbed out note for note, by the way)*
*Note2 - For those of you who do not know how to play harmonics with one
hand, here is how it is done: Lightly place your index finger (on
the picking/strumming hand) on the desired fret just as you would
for a regular harmonic. Then, pick the string with your thumb (also
on the picking/strumming hand.) Having a long thumbnail will make
the execution of this technique easier and more audible.*

*Note3 - You will notice later in this section that there a note that is
tabbed as (0*). This means to play the open string as a harmonic.
For those of you who do not know how to do this, simply place your
index finger (on the picking/strumming hand) lightly onto the
desired string. Your finger should be over the sound hole, NOT a
fret. Then, pick that string with your thumb (also on the
picking/strumming hand). If you still do not understand, I can
only advise that you watch Antoine perform this technique.*
*Note4 - Play the section below twice. Refer to Note1.*
