How to play (this is a rough guide... please 
experiment and play how it is most comfortable for 
you):

**Note: Measures 1-29 are meant to be tapped with 
the left and right hand.  The left hand should be 
positioned over the neck instead of under.**

(Numbers to the left represent specific measures.  
Anything stated in regard to a specific measure applies 
to all similar measures.)


1) The harmonics marked with a "T" are slapped 
   harmonics.  The rest of this measure is the basic 
   tapping pattern that is performed by the left hand.

4) The last 5 on string 4 is also tapped with the left 
   hand.

5) The open notes are plucked with the right hand.

8) The last two open notes on string 3 are meant to be 
   plucked with the thumb of the right hand even though 
   they are technically part of the "bassline" that the left 
   hand taps out.  Alternatively, they can be tapped as 5 
   on string 5 with the left hand.

9) This measure marks the beginning of the right hand 
   tapping.

11) Any open notes not part of the left hand tapping 
    pattern from this point on (such as the last open note 
    on the first string in this measure) should be plucked 
    with the right hand.  Whatever finger is most 
    comfortable to pluck with may vary during the course 
    of the tapping section.

29) During the small break, place your hand 
    under the neck in the traditional position.  Though 
    there is a bit of left hand tapping in this section, the 
    majority is played normally.  XXX marks thumbslaps.

33) The artificial harmonics in this measure are fretted 
    at the 3rd fret and are plucked with the right hand at 
    the 15th node.

34) The percussion in this measure can be done by 
    tapping the 6th string on the third fret while 
    simultaneously hitting the soundboard either above or 
    below the strings with the thumb or the 
    index/ring/pinky of the right hand.  Alternatively,
    you can thumbslap a string that is not being tapped.

38) The end of this measure is tapped with the left 
    hand while simultaneously performing a thumbslap 
    with the right.

39-40) The first beat on these two measures uses the 
       same technique as measure 34.

49) Da Coda - Ignore this the first time you get to this 
    measure. The second time you get to this measure, 
    complete the measure and go straight to the Coda sign 
    (measure 55).

54) D.C. al Coda - Complete this measure and start 
    from the beginning again.  During the small break,
    reposistion your left hand over the neck.
