Your Corrections




Theres tapping in there, I cant exactly say where but its after the break.




I think it starts off with...




1 finger on 5th fret, 2nd hammering on to 8th and index finger on right hand tapping the 12th fret ( then pulling off to 5th )




the 12th then moves to the 13th.




Then you move the 5,8 thing up to the 7th and 10th. still tapping on the 13th. I cant be bothered to put the rest cos I dont know all of it ( I think the 13th then moves to 15th but who knows!)

The first chord (slide to A5) is off




This is it
