Yes, that sl^ is a slide up. Is that how you'd notate it? I've
been trying to incorporate the timing into my tabs lately by including the count at the
bottom and spacing the notes properly; let me know how well this serves the purpose. It's
a shuffling kind of five. I think of each count as a sextuplet; you could count it as a
triplet, but to me it feels more like a sextuplet. Did I make any sense just then? Anyway,
that fourth note in the second bar (well it's played as the fourth bar) is the only note I
had concerns about, but I'm pretty sure it's right. It feels counter-intuitive, I find
myself wanting to play the octave on the third fret, but the tapes don't lie. I'm pretty
sure this is right.
