Copied by SOT!

Note: Drop to full D tuning

m= Mute
x= Dead strings, just hold your hand
 lightly over them and play em
h= Hammer on (when written on the 
line NATURAL harmonic when written 
above the
              line)
~= tremolo
*= Pinch or ARTIFICIAL harmonic 
(pick and brush string with side of 
thumb in
                                 the
 right place)
(*)= half a pinch harmonic..scrape 
your thumb over the string, but 
allow partially
     the harmonic and partially the 
fretted note to sound
... or ..= Sustain
+= you'll see this only for natural 
harmonics, it just means that 
instead of
   lightly touching over noted fret,
 touch a bit further up to sound the
 harmonic
>= Slide down, or up (if there's a 
higher fret indicated after the >)
<= Slide up
