Down Widespread Panic
For the tab, standard tab notation: h=hammer, p=pull,
/=slide up, \=slide down, parenthesis for smooth bends
(ex: 12(14)12 is a 12 bent up to the pitch of a 14 and then
brought back down in one strike), ~=vibrato, and ^ for rough
bends (ex: 12^14 12 is a 12 that is bent up to the pitch of
a 14, released, and then a 12 is plucked). Got it? Good =)
Let's proceed. Numbers above tab indicate apprx. track time.

I know these last parts could be up on the e, but the
original 12>17 slide way up top convinced me otherwise.
You can move these up and be fine=)
