X = mute(e.g. 9X) or strum muted or mute the strings,  depending
\ = slide down
/ = slide up
h = hammer
p = pulloff
b = bend(e.g. 7b9 bend from seven to nine)
. = stacatto(e.g. ---.----|

I made the following up.  I just can't hear the two obscure voicings
used here and here,  so I substituted this.  I don't really like it.

                              way Kottke does,  and to also smoothly
                              do the slide following,  is to sort
                              of jam your ring finger in between
                              your index and middle.  so it's middle
                              on 4th string, ring on 3rd, and index
                              on 2nd.  then again,  you could just
                              mute it and it'll still sound good.
