            This only sounds authentic on Acoustic to my ears       
                 But feel free to try on electric or sitar

This is the "Desert Music" that Chong is playing in "Cheech and Chong in
 Things are Tough All Over". I finally figured it out just messing around. 
It should be fairly easy to play for anyone. Even if this is your first time 
holding a guitar. You can play with thumb or pick but its personal 
preference I think. It is in standard tuning but feel free to try in any 
other tuning. I have personally not tried it but you can. I didn't try to 
figure out the tuning. But if you got to youtube you can figure it out. Oh 
and I didn't know how to label slides so after the second time you pick 
slide up to the next IF this isn't the right way. Let the "A" string ring on 
the second hit. Throw in a little bend or add a "trill" to it.

Then it starts over at the from the 9's and goes back down through the 7's 
and 5's and 3's and back up. Its pretty simple. You can throw in an extra 
note like the sevens in the second line. The 3's sound kinda off but, you 
can just leave those out and go back up. It sounds even better if you 
improvize with the above. Also if you play close to the bridge on acoustic 
it sounds even better.



Cheers!!
