NOTE: Where you see this symbol "(%)" it means that a new measure is starting, but don't change chords. Just treat it like a normal 4-beat chord.

Slashes indicate the number of beats that chord gets. If no slashes, it gets 4 beats (one whole measure)

Remember that an Ab can also be played like an F, but at the barred 3rd fret.
