All of the #s without the *s, are tremelo picked. That means tremelo pick all except the : 17 17 19 0 part, and the 24b[26] part. If you don't have a 24th fret than just bend the 21st fret a full and a half bend or for the real sound, bend the 22nd fret a two step bend. You have to tremelo pick each real fast. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Guitars 1 and 2 play "F123" once.
