This is another song that wasn't at Nevada,
so here is my version.
b=bend
r-release bend
h=hammer on
p=pull off
Standard tuning

* This is actually for bass, but it doesn't really matter.
The x's are done by hitting all the strings with you palm
above the pick-ups.

This took me hours to figure out and type up so if
you are reading this now send me a message, even if
you have nothing to say, I just want to know that
people are getting it and maybe using and enjoying
it. I think most of what I have here is right.
Once again, PLEASE tell me what you think (good and bad).
Any corrections gladly welcomed.
