Have a listen to the album. Bend notation : x(y) fretted at x, pre-bent upto y, pick and hold / x(y) fretted at x, pick and bend one half-step upto y 0.5 / X fretted at X, pick and bend up half a half-step (one quarter step?) \ x(y)x fretted at x, pre-bent (to y), pick and release bend back down to x h is a hammer on p is a pull-off Here's the break written out in the key of Ab (i.e. this is exactly what you play if you're using a capo at the first fret). 0.5 0.5 / / / / / / / G ---6-8---6----6-8---6------8(9)----8(9)----8(9)----8(9)----8(9)--8--6-- D -8---------8----------8-----------------------------------------------8- 0.5 0.5 / / // \\ \ G ---6-8---6----6-8---6----||-8(9)-8(9)-8(9)---||--8(9)-8(9)-8(9)8--6--8- D -8---------8----------8--||------------------||------------------------ \\ // x2 A ---4----------4----------4----------4---6---4------------------- E -6---6--4-h-6---6--4-h-6---6--4-h-6----------------------------- 0.5 0.5 0.5 e -6-------------------------------- / / / B ----9---6------------------------- G ---6-8---6----6-8---6----6-8---6----------------9---8---6------------- D -8---------8----------8----------8---------------------------8-------- I keep...
