* 3rd-string could be left open then maybe the high-G is an
overtone/harmonic caused by the tight fingering position.
Suggestions welcomed from anyone who has seen Josh play.

h = hammer-on
\ / = slide
The ring-finger slide on the Cmaj9-chord is really a position shift
since the index-finger plays the next note also at Fret-10.
