3 string CBG tuned F#,C#,f#. This gives GDg with slide on 1st fret.
ALL notes and strums are played with slide. No open chords.
Chords used
G-1st fret
C-6th fret
F-11th fret
R=rest ( NO STRUM)
Hold the slide over the fret indicated by the number.
Strum one time for every number.
ex: 1 -1 -1 -1 would be 4 strums on 1st fret (G).
I guess this is 4/4 timing, remember to keep time and pay attention to the rests and keep count.

That's it!
You can strum up and down, and keep strumming at the rest.
Just trying to make this as noobie friendly as possible.

Hi Matt,
I just read your comment last night and tried your tab method. This is GREAT for someone that knows nothing musically like me. Is there any way you could translate using this method more songs??? Now I am excited that I may actually be able to learn how to play!
