This is not an exact version of the song - it's hopefully a fairly close interpretation,

P.M. -------------------------------------------------|
[Part 1]
- Hammer on notes with left hand fingers (no strumming/picking)
- Use the left hand fingers to gently pick/strum the strings as you pull-off
- Let the notes ring as much as possible throughout
- Right hand hits a drum beat on the top/side of the guitar
- For right hand slap harmonics, remember 12 is wrt to the capo,
so the actual slapped fret for "12" is 17
