Technique symbols
h - hammer on
Rhythm symbols (ignore them if they don't help you)
h - half
q - 4th note
e - 8th note
s - 16th note
R - rest
t - triplet
+ - beat
========================================================================
Notes: It's not difficult to figure out the rhythm by ear and follow it
with your guitar but it is difficult to write it down and describe it
with note lengths (4ths, 8ths, 16ths etc). So if the lengths dont help
you I'd suggest your listening to the song carefully and relying on the
drum beat.
Alternatively, instead of using single notes, you can play the main riff
(verse) using power chords and sliding instead of hammering on.
I prefer the single note way though.
