For the intro: I tried to play the long note as a slide note. I have to say

that it sounds much better.

Tab notation followed:-----------------

10^12 : slide from 10th to 12th fret

10^(12) : bending (one tone) on 10th fret

(12)^10 : descending bend note on 10th fret

10vv : vibrato note

10>12 : hammer on

12<10 : pull off
