             t*rpi     t*rmi 

           * dampen with thumb



[original note: 'e' stands for eighth notes, 's' for sixteenth, `q' 

for quarter, `h' for half, and, yes, even `w' for whole notes. A 

period after a note value means dotted. 

The chord parts are best played with your index finger on the B string,

middle on the G string (using pinky for pull-offs), and ring finger 

on the D string, with the thumb wrapping around and playing the low E 

string. Sounds hard, but gets easier with practice.]

[Strumming: for main pattern (bar10), accent every 3rd 16th -- on '+':
