Standard tuning [EADGBe] (low to high). 4/4 time. Play with some distortion. Jimmy Pena - jimmy@walrus.com | = not a standard bar line; just used to separate music ~ = vibrato or held note x = percussive note with no pitch; muted note . = staccato; mute the note immediately after striking it h = hammer on p = pull off s = slide b = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret r = release bend to indicated string/fret / = slide up from infinity \ = slide down into infinity [5] = artificial harmonic (use thumb to follow through the pick attack) o \_ o / repeat sign (always look for these!) [x35553] = fret box; this is a C chord - this is the same as standard tablature, only turned on its side. Tilt your head clockwise to read.
