Written by Curtis Mayfield
fb = full bend
qb = quarter bend
hb = half bend
p = pull-off
h = hammer on
vb = vibrato
() = no. in brackets = ghost note
r = release bend
sl = slide up or down (gliss)
<> = no. inside is a harmonic
\() = wammy down (no. in brackets is the no. of tones down)
/() = wammy up (no. in brackets is the no. of tones up)
~ = wammy vibrato
To do the wammy tricks in bars 15-24 and 34-35
you have to quickly dip the wammy bar pluck the
note and then release so that you get the Jeff
Beck sound
