Blues For Ike - Django Reinhardt

   A Django Reinhardt composition during his electric years.
   I've tabbed the main guitar and the bass (transcribed for
   guitar - palm-muted to make it sound right) in the intro.
   Key:
   -------------------------------------------------
  | p   = pull-off                                  |
  | /   = slide up                                  |
  | \   = slide down (\\\\\ = slide down gradually) |
  | x/y = slide up from x to y                      |
  | PM  = palm-mute                                 |
