Rage

drop d tuning. the slap riff is tricky. use both your middle finger and index 

finger to make it doable. for the second hit on the higher "d" its up to you. 

you can try to hammer it really hard, pop it out quick, pull off from the 3rd 

fret, or hit the "a" string with one of your plucking fingers. its a 4 bar 

rotation with the last time open for variation. ive tried to get them as 

close to the recording as possible but feel free to do your own thing. in the 

song structure the variant order is noted beside ease verse. each hyphen 

usually represents a 16th note. and props to r. allen canterbury for the 

hammeron trill on fig d. couldnt hear that at first.
