p.m.---------------------------------->

Note: ALL the fills have the same eighth note and triplet
pattern.  First the chords are in the rhythm of eighth
notes, and then they are in the pattern of triplets.  Also,
a lot of the sliding and hammer on patterns are the same,
so just transfer whatever is written down onto the others.
If you want it perfect, you'll probably want to listen to
the CD a couple of times and play along with it.  Have fun...
