Important:
Symbols Used :
(I'm sure some of these you haven't seen before, because I just made them
up, I couldn't remember what the official symbols were)
h= hammer on
b= just a slight bend, only about a quarter or half step bend
5b7= a whole step bend, in this example bending the fifth fret so it sounds like the 7th
5b7r5= a whole step bend at 5th fret, then release the bend so it is just the 5th fret again
5b7v= a whole step bend at 5th fret, and then a vibrato while still holding the bend
s= slide
