guitar 2     the *s, i'm not quite sure what you do here... what I do is play them and 
quickly pulloff and strum again on dampen ( tab noted as an x ) and hammer them both back 
down again so they really look like  |--5pxh5--| but whatever

the (5-5) play only the first of the two times, or third of the four
