Notation:
- p = pulloff (4p0 = 4th fret pulled off to open)
- h = hammer-on (4h5 = 4th fret hammered on to 5th)
- \ or / = slide (10\9 = slide 10th fret down to 9th)
- <5> = harmonic note (play harmonic at 5th fret)
- (5) = note held over from previous note. Do not strike again.
- (12)b14 = prebend the 12th fret to sound like the 14th before striking the string.
- 14r12 = strike and release the bend back to 12.
- 1 e + a (etc.) = standard notation for counting 16th note rhythms.
The ending part is played where the notes are sounding backwards.
This can be done with certain delay/loop pedals or it's a producer
made effect. I didn't tab out this part.
