This is a cover song of AFH by YJM.  The original song is Arpeggios From ..., and then the place its from is that one place which isnt quite as bad as Cleveland Ohio.  I havent been there, I am just picking on Cleveland because I heard other people do it.  For all I know its nice there.  
I changed the title of the song so that I can stay out of the main path of the search results because I mainly want attention on this from a limited audience.  
This is dedicated to that band of kooks, which includes myself, who use the 
same tuning as I use, the augmented chord 7 string tuning, also known as 
pure repeating major thirds, as pioneered by Ralph Patt.  And, this is dedicated to the people who said no do it the regular way and tried to talk me out of going way out on this horrifying limb.

I want to explain the differences in this cover version compared to the original.  
I learned this from videos up here which teach one to play this song.  
In one place what I was taught differs from the original and I left 
the difference in there.  I added chords in a few places, where only 
the high note of the chord was actually in the original.  One of the 
videos where I learned it had included more slides than the original, 
and I left most of those in there because I want to practice slides.  
In some places I had to do my best to figure out what the intended 
syncopation should be, and I have made a good faith effort.  
In a couple places there seem to be a few extra offbeat notes and 
I made a good faith effort to include that accurately.  
There are some long vibratos I did not include, because, I am 
playing it at slow speed, I think that all of the compromises I made with the 
original were reasonable because of the slower speed at which I must 
practice.  My guitar is tuned pretty low, and I can not reach all of the 
high notes in the original, therefore in one place I played that section 
an octave lower, and in another section I hit the highest note I can play 
in place of the actual note.  The way I did this was, I went and 
watched 2 different teachers show how to play this, I ignored all the 
information about what finger and what fret, because my tuning is different, 
I just zoomed in on where they play the section at slow speed, 
and played it back by ear until I got all of the sections well memorized.  
Then, to find out what the timing information is, I watched the official version 
at half speed and counted beats, and did my best, then I had to play 
the drum machine slow and put the notes to the timing.  
The Indian classical solfeggio system for teaching a composition 
is more efficient than western tablature or tone based sheet music.  
Finally, what I have is so well worked out, that I wont go and update it again 
for a long time.  One day if I am playing it at close to full speed, 
I might re-visit what is the correct way to play it, but until then, 
what I have here is serving its purpose, which is so that I can become a better musician.
