************************************

b = bend (7b8 means bend the string at the 7th fret to make approximately

the note the string would make if played at the 8th fret with no bend)

r = release bend

h = hammer on

p = pull off

s = slide (a quick slide, the two notes sound almost like one note)

/ = slower slide (sounds like two separate notes)

> = play string at specified fret and slide finger(s) down the string an

unspecified distance

() = harmonics, (12) means lightly touch the string directly past the 12th

fret then pick the string

~ = vibrato (vibrate note)
