Intro tab:
- Alternate picking strokes are shown below each tab staff as down/up, abbreviated d/u.
Underscores represent silent strokes or letting a hammer on / pull off / slide do
its job.
- Vertical lines of x's mean strumming on muted strings to create a clicky noise.
- Vertical lines of asterisk stars * next to a chord means you play it staccato.
In other words, cut it short, don't let it ring out. Either lift up your chording
fingers slightly,
or use your strumming hand's palm to touch the strings and stop them from sounding.
- The exlamation marks above each tab staff denote the main chord shape changes listed earlier.
For the Em group, there is the first Em and 6 following variations.
For the C group, there is the first C and 4 following variations.
