Yaman Aksu yaman1@jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu Notations: h hammer on p pull off b bend (i.e. bend the note up until you hit the exact note following the "b" sign) r release (i.e. release the note down to the note following the "r" sign) s slide (i.e. pluck the note to the left of the sign "s" and slide your finger to the note to the right of the sign "s". Do not pluck the note you are sliding to.) The solo is in D minor. The accompanying chords are Dm, Bb, and C. These will be indicated at the appropriate places. Also, 4/4 is used.
