Notes
------------------
*There is tremelo picking throughout pretty much the entire song
*On most of the slides, you should continue to pick very fast
*Getting the perfect tone can be difficult. If you have a wah pedal,
you can bring out the trebel with it.
*************************** INTRO *********************************
*For this beginning slide, chuck most of the strings and move down
the fretboard quickly, continuously picking. Also, when playing on
a single string, try using your left hand to dampen the other strings
to prevent from hitting them.

************************* Melody 2 **************************
For this part of the song, you play the exact same notes as the first part,
only it's all on the high e string. Picking this fast on the high e string
is harder than on the low E string, so it might take some practice. Make sure you keep
pick strokes very small and only hit the one string.
