version 2
Intro
Capo 3 standard tuning
opening progression:
Note:
there are a few tricky techniques here. First, the notation of 1h>>>3 on the B string
signifies that the hammer on is a delayed hammer on. you will see that the bass A note
is played before the hammer on is completed.
Second, the hammer-on on the A string (there is only one) is not plucked. The string is
fretted with the left hand sounding the note, but the string is not plucked.
Third, 0h>>>2 once again signifies a delayed hammer on.
Fourth, the 0h>>>>2/3. the low E string has a delayed hammer from 0 to 2. this hammer
is just enough to sound the note. the note is then slide up (2/3) seamlessly to pluck
the next chord configuration.
