Nickel Creek

Nickel Creek - Should've Known Better solo guitar tab

This is my first tab submission, so I'm sorry if it sucks.

I know that it is not totally correct, but I was hoping

someone might be able to help correct it. One of the problems

is that the solo is played on the mandolin, so I took it down

an octave to try and duplicate the feel on guitar.

Any adjustments or advice would be welcomed.

Standard tuning

b=bend

/=slide

h=hammer

OK, so that's what I have. A couple pretty obvious errors include:

1. The section that plays:

--------------------------------------------

------------------------------3--3----------

----------3--3----------------3--3----------

----------3--3---5---3h5----------5---------

---3h5--------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------

sounds pretty off to me but I'm not sure what it really is.

2. Everything after

-------------------5h6--------

-----------3h4----------------

----2h3-----------------------

------------------------------

------------------------------

------------------------------

sounds a little off to me. You really notice it listening to the recording.

At the ending the mandolin plays the second to last note 3 times, not just

2 as I indicated in my tab. I just couldn't figure out where I got behind to fix it.

Hope this helps as a starting place. Post something if you figure out improvements.
