Notes:
+ -This is meant to be a pause, musically a fermata. Use it to your own effect
H -Hammer on/hammer off
A -A sort of arpeggio but strummed downwards once with the thumb.
* -The lower string is plucked very slightly earlier than the top one. Almost
like a grace note.
() -An implied note. Sometimes it is a string that is struck lightly by
mistake, in other instances, it is the rest of the chord.
