Legenda:
/ @ \  = slide on @ slide off
(note) = hold the note without playing it
L      = legato ("hammer on" or "pull off")

Note: although the "Brave New" album is usually played by three
      guitars, this is a classic two-coupled-guitars song (so
      Guit1=Murray&Smith Guit2=Gers). I have also a single-guitar
      tab of this song: if you want it, e-mail(an advice: that
      version is MUCH HARDER).

*3 not so sure of it, too close...
