----------------
 h   - hammer-on
 p   - pull-off
 b   - bend
 pb  - pre-bend
 r   - bend release (if no number after the r, then release
immediately)
 /\  - slide into or out of (from/to "nowhere")
 ~   - vibrato

The timing throughout the song should be exact.
The tuning is drop-d: D,A,D,G
The rhythm: Quadruple time, 4/4
I'm not too sure about Riff 9, it is really hard to hear what he is
playing.
