This is a song by Mike Dowling from the ‘Swamp Dog Blues’ album

*********************

‘h’= hammer on
‘p’= pull off
‘b’= bend (kind of a 3/4 note higher, but do it to ear)
‘*’= harmonic
‘/’= slide up (remember to use vibrato with the slide when appropriate)
‘\’= slide down (remember to use vibrato with the slide when appropriate)

*********************

Play on a bottleneck resonator, set up for slide.
Figure out the rhythm by listening to the song, but it’s fairly straight forward.
I couldn't find this tab online so I figured it out and here it is!
