I was asked to tab the intro for this song so here it is. It's not as difficult as it looks
or sounds. You play most of the notes on the B string and hit the open E string at the same
time. Then it's just a case of sussing the rhythm and the hammers and pulls and slides.

I'll add this song to my "to do" list and complete the tab at a later date.

 

h = hammer
p = pull
s = slide
r = let ring (sustain)
