I watched justin play this in concert so most of it is pretty
spot on. If you think something is incorrect email me.

Thanks to DaveRockz14@excite.com for the original corrections
and to the other tabs at toolshed. Thanks also to Jarred Keltner
and Paulo Estriga for their input.

Thanks for reading my crap :) happy playing.
