SUGAR MICE by Marillion (an interpretation)
Here's the way I play it on my six-string, standard tuning, no capo.
~ - vibrato (finger or whammy -whatever fits)
p - pull off
h - hammer on
r - release bend
s - slide /s - slide from infinity
b(n) - bend to pitch of fret (n)
rhythm figure - repeat and adapt as necessary

solo - LOTS of emotion. It's difficult for me to accurately
transcribe the bends and vibrato, so let your soul be your guide...
