For example --- string gauges low to high are: 1st string/G = 0.008 gauge string 2nd string/E = 0.010 gauge string 3rd string/A = 0.016 gauge string 4th string/D = 0.024 gauge string 5th string/G = 0.042 gauge string 6th string/C = 0.052 gauge string ****** | Legend | h hammer-on | ~ vibrato | \ slide down |(1) numbers in parenthesis represent stick/hi-hat counts ******
