  Tabbed by Nick Wellings,  nickwellings@hotmail.com 
  
  10.8.00
  
  CD times in parenthesis
  
  Notes: A warm clean tone to start off quiet then build to
  great creschendo.Start with volume low then increase when
  you want *but* gradually and logically.
  Use small amount of reverb. This is basically a transcription 
  of what Carlos has played, feel free to simplify or change it. 
  Sometimes I find it better not to completely stick to a more
  complex tab like at the end and I just try to make something 
  easier up.
  
         h - hammer on
         p - pull off
         b - bend string up
         r - release bend
         / - slide up
          - slide down
         v - vibrato more v's=more vib
         t - right hand tap
         x - play 'note' with heavy damping
