Im using a rhythm bar below the tab to show where & how long to play notes. The ryhthm is based on 4/4. The Chords used along with explanations for mechanics and the rhythm bar are at the bottom of the file. Also, I'm Using the number in parenthesis in the song structure to tie to lyric hints in the various verses. ig. 2)Shows which lyric hint goes with phrase at 2.

''''' - Sustained Note 4''''' - Strike and sustain the 4 over the time on the rhythm bar. ''''b - Sustained/bend up 2'''b4 - strike and hold the note at 2 waiting to bend the note at the time indicated on the rhythm bar. ''''r - Sustained/release down 4'''r2 - strike and hold the bent note at 4 waiting to release the note at the time indicated on the rhythm bar. Mechanics examples: Bends --2bbb4------ It takes half a beat to bend consistently up to 4 -----9b11---- 9 is bent up quickly to 11 on the beat --2''b4------ 2 is struck & held, then bent up sharply to 4 on & ------------- --1---&---2---&---3---&---4---&--- Releases --9rrr7------ It takes half a beat to gradually release down to 7 --9''r7------ Bent 9 struck & held, released down sharply to 7 on the &. --9'''9rrr8'''8rrr7'''7rrr6--- The Bent 9 is slowly released while the string is struck at the points indicated on the rhythm bar. --1---&---2---&---3---&---4---&--- Slides --3/--5------ 3 is struck, then slides up, & is struck again at 5 --3///5------ 3 is struck once only, then slides up to create 5 -/9---------- The 9 is slid into very fast from 1 or 2 frets lower -\7---------- The 7 is slid into very fast from 1 or 2 frets higher --(8)/10----- 8 is struck, then slides up very fast to create 10. --0/-8------- The open string is struck, then the fretting finger is placed on the fingerboard (without picking), then slides up to the 8 then the 8 is struck again --T5/10------ The fretting finger taps onto the 5th fret and slides up creating the note at the 10th fret. ------------- --1---&---2---&---3---&---4---&--- Hammer ons --3h5-------- 3 is struck, then hammers onto 5 1/16 note away --3hhh5------ 3 is struck then hammers onto 5 1/8 note away --1-e-&---2---&---3---&---4---&--- RHYTHM BAR --1--&--2--&--3--&--4-- : The rhythm bar that appears below the tab lines shows where and how long to play notes, like standard musical, notation to show more accurately what's being played. 9b11 could be a fast bend for only a sixteenth note, or it could take an entire beat. The Rhythm bar should help to give an indication of timing. The physical length of a measure will vary to accomodate mechanics, 2 digit fret numbers, etc. but the note should appear directly under the point on the rhythm bar where it should be played. for example 10b12r10p8 looks like it takes a long time, but may only take 3/16s to play. 10b12r10p8 1--e--& 1--e--&--a--2-- - Sixteenth notes (4/4 time) 1--&--1--2--&--2 - A compound time like 12/8. Each beat a triplet. 1----e----a-2-- - Triplet over the beat (4/4 time) |____3____| An example in 4/4 time: |--1---&---2---&---3---&---4---&--a---1---e---a--2---&--- |___3___| / | | \ \ \ There's a Knock at the door
