And there ya have it. So yeah i did all this without a guitar in hand, believe it or not lol. So there might be a mistake or two when it comes to the bends and such but it shouldnt be hard to figure out from here. Let me know what you think.

what song is this to??

Well, it's under TLEO...

I don't get the b's and r's...Are b's bends? And if so, how
do you bend 10b12? Bend a 10 and then while bending slide down
to 12?

I'm not the author but I'd bet the 10b12 is hitting the 10 and bending it for a full step tonal change to the 12 tonal equivalent. Or not.

I'd say b=bend, r=release. And Bill is right 10b12 is just what he said. I think these are standard tab notations, right?

Ok guys if you see 10b12 that means start at the 10th fret and bend up to 12 and stop it. Which means do not let the bend go back down. Now if you see 10b12r10 that means start at 10 bend it up to the note at 12 then let the bend come back down. I didnt realize it was this uncommon. Ive seen this many times before so I figured it was common knowledge but either way sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh and on the second bar right in the beginning you'll see 10b12 then 10 then 12r10. Your gonna wanna take your ring finger and throw it on the 10 and bend to 12 and hold it there while takin your pinky and puttin it on the 10 below it and hit that. then hit the bent note and release. I couldnt think of a correct way of writin this. Anyone know a better way to write that? Seeing as Jerry and ALOT of other players use this lick alot id like a nice easy way to tab it.
