Tabulature Legend
--------------------------------------------------
- = string (also serves as crude time marker: time on string)
# = frett (or equivalent pitch on string)
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
tr = trill (rapid, consecutive hammer-ons and pull-offs)
b = bend (to indicated frett or 1/4 step if not specified)
fb = full bend (1 step or 2 frett pitches)
hb = half bend (1/2 step or 1 frett pitch)
pb = pre-bend (bend before striking)
= = hold bend or let note ring with substantial sustain
r = release bend (to indicated frett)
~ = vibrato (shallow, rapid bending)
/ = slide up (if not indicated where, then to and from anywhere)
\ = slide down (if not indicated where, then to and from anywhere)
s = legato slide (sound all notes in slide)
S = shift slide (sound only beginning and end notes by shifting quickly)
() = muted note (indicates notes muted after striking them)
x = muted slash (pluck or "rake" string in a percussion manner)
x\ = pick scrape (scratch pick across string surface)
Rythm Notations
PM = palm mute (mute string(s) while striking them)
TP = tremelo pick (pick very rapidly)
T = tap (with finger or pick)
\n/ = tremelo bar dip where n= amount to dip
\n = tremelo bar down where n= how far
/n = tremelo bar up where n= how far
/n\ = tremelo bar raise (don't try without a Floyd Rose Tremelo Bridge!)
