Explanation (some of the symbols I use are not standard, I'm afraid)
2/4 fret the 2nd, play it, then slide to the 4th
5^7 bend 5th till it sounds like the 7th
7v5 start with a 5th bended up to 7th, play it and release the bend to a
   normal 5th
(...) play what's inside the brackets, but with your left hand only
   (i.e., do not hit the strings with your right hand)
5-3 pull off from 5 to 3
2-4 hammer-on from 2 to 4
