This song is very simple, but Les doesn’t play this song fingering or slapping.
He basically taps the whole song except when he strums a few notes. Refer
to the song for rhythm, timing, and other various details. I’ll hint (look
at the **Note) at how he does it for the main riff to make it easy.

**Note: the notes on the 6th fret are played with the left hand, just tap it
with your middle finger. And for fill 2, I use the knuckles on the inside of
my hand closest to my palm for most comfort and quality. For Fig. 2, perform
a triplet on 2-3-4. On Fig. 3, play on the 7th fret and keep your left middle
finger closed while playing on the 7th fret. This tabbing is not quite together
how the song plays out, but it shouldn’t be very difficult to listen and find
the places.

V = down strum
^ = up strum
h = hammer
/ = slide
