Just a few touch-ups to a tab previously written, this is my first try
(Thanks to Christopher - Very well done, Cheers dude.)

.  - palm mute           /  - slide up to
\  - slide down to       ~  - vibrato
h  - hammer on           b  - Bend
p  - pull off            Suffixes for bend
t  - tap                 f  - full bend    h - half bend
ph - pinched harmonic    q  - quarter bend t - tap bend
*  - see comment         ^  - Hold bend    r release bend
x  - Stuccatto           ~  - vibrato bend
,  - slight palm mute    () - ghost note, sustained note
"  - tremolo note        <> - Trill

Tunning E A D G B E

Pattern 1 - Repeat 4 Times

E|----------0-----------0-----------------------------------
B|--------0---0-----------0---------------------------------
G|------2-------2-2/5-------5-------------------------------
D|----2----------(2/5*)-------------------------------------
A|--0---------------------------3\2-0-----------------------
E|-------------------------------------3--------------------
   * (2/5*) This is slid up at the same time as the slide on G:, but isnt
            plucked, giving the D: string a quiet slide sound.
            So only play the G slide from 2/5, but still slide the D 2/5
            (I hope thats understandable...) Just to help: i use my index
            finger on the D string, and my middle finger on G.


Pattern 2 - (Right after Pattern 1) Only 1 Time

E------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B----------0---------------------------------------3---------------------------
G--------2---2--------------4p3-------3--------2-3---3-2-0-----------2-4h5-4-0-
D------3-------3----------------4---4------------------------------2-----------
A----3-----------3-------4--------4--------5---------------------3-------------
E--1--------------------2--------------------3-----------------4---------------


Repeat Pattern 1 - 4 Times

Repeat Pattern 2 - 1 Time

Repeat Pattern 1 - 4 Times

G----------0---------0-------0--------2-----2---------4-------4--------
D--------0---0-----0-------1--------2---------2-----4-----------4------

Hope you enjoy, David.
