    Okay, now for the final notes:
  • 1.) To make this song sound right, play those 1st 2 measures this way:
    Just pluck the first two notes (I actually prefer to play this
    part with only my thumb and index finger) but MUTE the bass note
  • as you slide down. You do not want this note sounding. No need
    to get drastic about it, just kill the tone JUST before sliding.
     
  • 2.) Play all of the hammer-on parts FAST. This is the best way to play
    any fill of this sort. If you feel you are playing this TOO fast,
    make sure to add a compensory silence following the fill. Trust
  • me, it will sound ok. The latter silence balances the feel.
     
    3.) I would not suggest fingering the last measure as a barre chord. It's
  • just too damned hard, and not neccessary at all. And don't use your
    thumb. Try index finger - bass then DOWN middle finger on the
    high 2 string.
  •  
    4.) While I'm on the topic of fingering, I must point out: when I first
    played this song, I couldn't get it through my head how to finger
  • the first two measures. So, let's notmake the same mistake, eh?
    Index finger - bass note, ring finger - treble. Do not attempt
    to pull off these notes rather than slide. It sounds horrid.
  •  
    5.) Still wanna get those chords right. E-mail me with help.
     
  • 6.) About the * part above: to make it sound right, make sure you start
    the slide [string 2: |----3/5\3---| ] with your FIRST (index) finger.
    Much easier, and it cuts down the akwardness of the thing.
