This would be the easier version, but still all the right notes and completely playable (for beginners). It reads in 16ths (and each dash is a rest) and the tilde (~) means to hold the note. You can hear in the song when there are 4 notes in a row (three notes later in the song) the second note is played as a 32nd note (t) or something like that if it makes sense. It’s designed to be easier to play than the original way, which is played higher on the neck with a lot of sliding around. Enjoy!
