Notes:
-For the G, leave strings B and e open
-There's a lot of hammer-ons there you can improvise with, along with many other
random pull-off, pickings and improvisations.
-In the chorus, he hammers on the F# to progress up and down to the next chord;
it's not an actual F#/Em or Em/F# chord really.
