[15], are notes that are struck while a string is bent. Using the opening notes of the tab as an example, a note is struck at the 14th fret and bent up a semi-tone. Then the note is struck two more times while the bend is held. ^...bend (w=whole tone,s=semi,q=quarter) ~...vibrato pb..pre-bend the note =...hold note r...release bend /...slide up pm..palm mute \...slide down \\..depress trem bar (This file is the transcriber's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.)
