KEY:
| / slide up
| \ slide down
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| ~ vibrato
| + harmonic**
| x Mute note (completely muted note, unless noted)
| ( ) ghost note
| ^ small bend
| ^fb full bend (should sound 2 notes higher, same as 2 frets higher)
| tr trill*
**harmonic -- gently palm mute the string (w/ pick hand) and do a pinch harmonic
[the one time it is used is right after the car scrapes]
*trill -- If you don’t know what a trill is, here is an example from the song:
|--3tr(5)--| means |--3h5p3h5p3h5p3h5p3h5--| (really fast)
Ok Nigel Tufnel is coming soon… enjoy
