Well, here come some more riffs for you. Send me some ideas, I might
tab more riffs pretty soon.
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
b = bend note
r = release bent note
RIFF NUMBER 1:
--------------
"Light My Fire" by The Doors
This is the keyboard intro.
E|---------------------------------1---------------

D--------------------3-1--3-----|

RIFF NUMBER 2:
--------------
"Thunderstruck" by AC/DC
This is the VERY cool sounding, hammer-on, pull-off intro. It isnīt
hard to play, you just use the left hand you never strike the strings
with the right, itīs best to do this on an electric guitar turned up
pretty loud so the hammer-ons can be heard clearly.
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------
B|--h4p0h7p0h4p0h7p0h4p0h7p0h4p0h7p0h4p0h7p0h4p0h7p0h4p0h7p0h4p0h7p0--

Play the above tabs twice and then this a few times:
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--h12p0h10p0h9p0h10p0h9p0h7p0h9p0h5p0h7p0h4p0h5p0h4p0h5p0h4p0h5p0h4p0--|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
When I look at what Iīve just written down it seems reeeaaalyy difficult
to read. To make it simpler, what he does is with every note, he hammers
it and then pulls off to the open string. Like if we were going to play
note 5, we would play it h5p0. If you understand what I mean then here
are the notes he uses below:
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-4-7-4-7-4-7-4-7-4-7-4-7-4-7-4-7-5-8-5-8-5-8-5-8-5-8-5-8-5-8-5-8--|
G|------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|
B|-12-10-9-10-9-7-9-5-7-4-5-4-5-4-5-4--|
G|-------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|
It might be easier for you at first to play it on the E string, when
you play it on the B string you might accidentally hit the E string
with it.
RIFF NUMBER 3:
