harm harmonic; hold finger slightly above string and pick it can only be done at specific 
places on the neck (this takes practice and you should find someone to show you how, beause 
it's difficult to explain) 

A.H. artificial harmonic; more difficult than a harmonic, you have to mute the string 
with the thumb on the pick hand after you hit the note (this takes practice... blah blah 
blah, read above) 

h hammer on; (ie 7h8) fret and pick string at 7th fret, and without picking again "hammer" 
and hold string at 8th fret 

p pull off; (ie 9p7) fret and pick string at 9th and 7th frets, and without picking again 
pull finger off 9th fret and let 7th ring 

/ slide up; note rises 

 slide down; guess 

pm.... palm mute; holding the bottom part of your right hand (for right handed players) 
against the strings near the bridge keeping it from ringing. The dots that follow indicate 
notes (chords) above are also muted 


x rake; mute strings with fretting hand by not quite fretting a note, but still holding 
strings
