Intro Verse:
"bq" is a quarter-bend. "bh" is a half-bend. In this part there are several bh's in a row,
along with br's (bend release) so the note is being held and bent up 1/2 step and released 
in time with the music. The bends and slides are not re-articulated. Slap and pop.

Bridge A:
This is played as straight eighth notes but the timing of the changes is on the up-beat 
and can be tricky, so make sure to count out the notes. Broken up slightly to aid counting. 
Finger picked.
