Tabbed by: me

Tuning: Standard

| /   slide up
| \   slide down
| h   hammer-on
| p   pull-off
| ~   let ring
| <>  harmonic
| x   Mute note
| *   Palm mute

This is an awesome song off of "The End is Near", which is FiF's last--and
best--album. ever. that's right.___.

...ok, so that's all you really need to know unless you're new at electric
guitar like me and don't know what a harmonic is...like me...before...well
so if you don't know what a harmonic is just try to LIGHTLY, BARELY touch
the E string right between the 3rd and 4th fret and strike the string hard
and it should make the sound it makes in the song.

this is goood but how do you hammer on

cszepv - 2005-04-27

What exactly do you mean?
Do you mean what is a hammer-on? If that's what you want a hammer-on is basically when you play a string and then strike a note on that same string with your finger instead of a pick. This sort of thing is heard a lot in Classical Gas. It's pretty difficult at first but with practice you should be able to get it sounding like a normal note.
If none of that made sense to you don't worry. I have that affect on a lot of people. Just tell me what I should clarify.
