Notes: I made this tab on a request for a clawhammer tab, but it includes three different versions.

And it will not be sounded on the midi file (all ppp notes are silent). Now it is shown as 0 in TablEdit but when you print the tab the will not be printed. Write 0 on the first string on the “pa”Ĥ. Write 2 (fret 2) on the first string on the “bum”ģ.
