people, including Simon Chiplin (scc92@ecs.soton.ac.uk), Joel Bruner
(brunej@rpi.edu), and myself from rand@ingress.com last year, but I had

Jimmy Pena - jimmy@walrus.com
= not a standard bar line; just used to separate music
~ = vibrato or held note
h = hammer on
p = pull off
s = slide
b = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret
r = release bend to indicated string/fret
/ = slide up from infinity
\ = slide down into infinity
o \_
o / repeat sign (always look for these!)
= fret box; this is a C chord - this is the same as standard
tablature, only turned on its side. Tilt your head clockwise to read.
Don't forget: Dropped-D tuning = (low to high)
