I strongly suggest learningbrthis while listening to the recording cited above. While I've tried to makebrthis transcription note-for-note, I very much doubt that it is perfect. Inbrparticular, bars 21 to 24 don't quite sound right. I believe the hammer-onbris only done once in bars 22 and 23, but I couldn't quite hear exactly whatbrhe was doing (I think it's just a combination of hammer-on/muted strings butbrI can't seem to play this, hence I couldn't very well transcribe it).brbrChords: I know quite a few, but I have no idea what they are called. :)brSo, instead of putting the names of chords above the Tablature I decidedbrjust to list the major chords in TAB format with the fingerings that workbrbest for me. It should be relatively easy to match the chords up with thebrTablature, but in case you can't let me know and I'll do something about it.brbrFingerings: (1) index (2) middle (3) fourth (4) pinkybrbrbrprebre -|--0--| ( ) |--0--| ( ) |--0--| ( ) |--0--| ( ) |--x--| ( )brB -|--2--| (1) |--2--| (1) |--0--| ( ) |--0--| ( ) |--x--| ( )brF#-|--0--| ( ) |--3--| (2) |--0--| ( ) |--0--| ( ) |--2--| (1)brD -|--0--| ( ) |--4--| (3) |--2--| (1) |--0--| ( ) |--2--| (1)brA -|--0--| ( ) |--0--| ( ) |--4--| (4) |--2--| (4) |--2--| (1)brE -|--x--| ( ) |--x--| ( ) |--4--| (3) |--2--| (3) |--0--| ( )br/prebrbrTablature Legendbrbrprebr----------------br/prebrbr.

Guitar is hard to learn in the beginning, but gets easier the longer you stick with it. /p
