KEY:
 
-Below tab:
*   - palm-mute note
 
-Above tab:
N/4  - timing, where N is the number of beats per measure
xN   - repeat N times (repeated parts are marked by a double vertical line
      at start and finish)
x    - duration of note where x equals: w (whole note), h (half note), q
       (quarter note), e (eighth note), or s (sixteenth note); note that x.
       represents 1.5 times x
X    - indicates a rest of specified duration (see above)
<x>  - used for anomalies in timing, especially triplets, where x is the
       equivalent total duration of the notes within the brackets
-    - allow note to ring out for an unspecified amount of time
