Legend:
> = slide
= indefinite slide
/ = rhythm slash
() = notes inside parentheses are not played every time
b9-r = prebend note, pick, then release bend
h9 = hammer on
17b = pick and bend
All bends are 1 whole step
! - + -
1 e and ah...
I'm pretty sure this is at least 90% correct
Tuning: down 1/2 step (or, more accurately, down 1/4 step)
