Deviations from maintainer's format: Time signatures, rhythm notation,
notes sustaining over bar lines will be shown in rhythm notation only, ^
= bend, r = release bend,(^) = note is pre-bent before picking, ~ =
vibrato only, R = rest, hold = sustain while other note(s) is/are
played, forced = stopped short of rhythm value shown, choke = pick &
nail to bring out artificial harmonics, self-explanatory notes and
headers

Arpeggios (sustain all possible) throughout until solo
