 This TAB is meant only as an add-on to the "DreamOn.crd" that can
 already be found at Nevada (thank you, whoever you are).  Fills 1, 4,
 and 5 are based on F pentatonic minor, and Fill 3 is based on C
 pentatonic minor.  Fill 2 is just based on the chords that back it,
 and the solo is based on the intro.
 
 I suppose a word is in order about my notation for slides. If the note
 that you slide *to* has a slash directly in front of it, the note is not
 picked.  If there is a space between the slash(es) and the note, then
 the note *is* picked.  I realize this may be confusing, but I wanted to 
 be precise.
 
 Corrections, questions, comments, etc. always welcome!
