Ab|-----7---3-4--|-5------------|-----7---5-3--|--------------|
Eb|-------5------|--------------|-------5------|-5-3----------|

Gb|----------------| You should be holding the note on the 3rd fret
Db|----------------| from the previous measure, and then all you do here
Ab|----------------| is a quick hammer on to the 4th fret, holding that
Eb|-h4-------------| until you play what's below.
