Desert Rose  Eric Johnson

From the 1990 album ?Ah Via Musicom?.
p - pull off
h - hammer on
T - use your thumb
~~ - sustained note or vibrato
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
b - bend to second note
?b?r? - bend to second note and return to first
PH - pinch harmonic
(?) - passing note
I haven't put in any precise timing so you'll have to listen to the CD. Usually
if the notes are closer together they'll be faster but this is only a rough guide.
It's hard to tell where there are hammer ons and pull offs are so you can decide
for yourself. This tab is definitely correct. I worked the solos out using "pacemaker"
for winamp to slow it down.
Enjoy!
