was done, but it almost sounds like there is a second guitar playing a percussive part under the main guitar part. I tried to emulate it the best I could with the picking pattern. ===================================================================== h= hammer on p= pull off ()= ghost note (sometimes barely audible notes, optional) b= bend r= bend release /= slide up to note = slide down to note ~= vibrato t= tap note with picking hand = harmonics * *= repeat from beginning
