A couple differences are playing the 7th fret D (on the G string) before the usual first note (the 6th fret), as well as playing the 12th fret A at the end before sliding down in prep for melting faces. e|---------------------------------|-----------------------------| B|----------/14------------/14-----|-----------------------------| G|-/7-6-------------6--------------|--2-----/14------------------| D|---------------------------------|-----------------------------| A|---------------------------------|---------------12\-----------| E|---------------------------------|-----------------------------| Here we go! Slide up into the 9th fret on the G string before plucking it again, hammering on the 11th and then playing the 10th fret of the B string and letting that ring for a bit. e|-----------------------------------------| B|------------10~--------------------------| G|--/9~--9h11------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------| Then pick UP on the high E string with your first finger on the 12th fret. This lets you pre-bend the B string on the 12th fret (B) up a whole step to C# before releasing it back down and then picking the rest. e|--12----------------------------| B|----b14r(12)-10-12----10--------| G|-------------------11-----------| D|--------------------------------| A|--------------------------------| E|--------------------------------| That last lick goes into this line that has some smooth legato bits. Note the parentheses around the (9) means you don't pluck that note. e|-----------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------| G|--11-9------9----------------------------| D|-------9h11---11\(9)-7-------------------| A|-----------------------9-7---------------| E|-----------------------------------------| These next notes are technically part of the same run, but I think it's helpful to separate stepping up from the running down when learning it. Again, note the (11) in parentheses meaning you shouldn't pluck it. e|-----------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------9--| D|-----------------------------7-9/(11)----| A|---------------------------9-------------| E|-----------------------------------------| Neat little arpeggio here. I find that I upstroke on that first 10th fret D (on the high E string). e|--10-9-----------------------| B|-------10--------------------| G|----------9------------------| D|-----------------------------| A|-----------------------------| E|-----------------------------| Okay so this time I put it all together. The downs and the ups. I think which notes are picked and which are legato is key to getting the feel right here. Not 100% sure this is how she played it, but here's how I do it. (Naturally, you're not picking notes that come after an 'h' or a 'p') e|--12-12h14p12--------------------------------------------| B|-------------12h14p12-10h12-10-----------------------10--| G|-------------------------------9h11p9------9----9h11-----| D|--------------------------------------9h11---11----------| A|---------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------| Reach up here for the big bend! To play the (19rb19) bit, after bending up the whole step (19) release it a bit (r) and then push it back up there (b19). The 'r(17)' that follows is meant to be a slower release back to normal before picking that note again. The final notes are the lead in to the last run before the ending. e|------------------------------------14-----| B|--17b(19rb19)--r(17)-17~------14h17----17--| G|-------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------| And then here's the big run for the end. Once you get the pattern down it should be pretty straightforward. Not exactly sure what she plays at the very end, but I do hear a Db before ending on the B. So to hit that I linger a bit on those 14th and 16th D-string-frets before grabbing those last two notes for the finish. e|--17p14---14------------------------| B|-------17---17p14-17p14---14--------| G|-----------------------16---16p14---| D|------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------| e|------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------| G|--16p14---14------------------------------| D|-------16----16p14-16p14-14-16p14----14\--| A|----------------------------------16------| E|------------------------------------------| And that's it!
