tune your guitar to open E ( low to high E B E Ab B e)
this can be done by either tuning to open D and capoing 2nd fret,
or by simply tuning up to open E

The Chord E3 always slides directly up the E4

    E  E2  E3  E4  E5  C#m  A   B  G#m F#/A
e---0---0---2---4---5---0---5---7---0---0---
B---0---0---0---0---0---0---5---7---0---0---
Ab--0---1---1---3---5---8---5---7---3---1---
E---0---0---0---0---0---0---7---9---0---0---
B---0---2---------------9---5---7---4---2---
E---0---0---------------9---5---7---4---2---

main verse riff:

p= pull off the string to let the open string ring
just pull off the E2 chord when going to the E
