Song: Surfin'
Artist: Ernest Ranglin
Album: Rebirth of the cool 6
Tabbed by Frederic Briere

h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string up
r - release bend
/ - slides
~ - vibrato
t - right hand tap
x - play 'note' with heavy damping

This is quite a complicated song. So the tabbing is probably incorrect at
some places, especially the first piano pass, which I'm not really sure I
got correct, but I think it is mostly accurate. It's difficult to play, so
don't care too much about the details; try to make it sound as it does.
