Should've Known Better

Nickel Creek

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 -3/6b---3----1h3b---1-------- ----------2------------------ ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- 3--2--1---------------------- -------------3---0----------- ----------------------3---0-- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- --4---3--1---0--------------- --------------------4---3---- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- -------0-----------0--------- ---3------0h3---------------- ----------------------4--3--- ----------------------------- -------------------------------------- -----------------------------3---3---- --------3---3----------------3---3---- --------3---3---5---3h5-------------5- -3h5---------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------5h6-------8----9b-- -----------3h4------------------------ ----2h3------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- ---8----6----6--9b--8---6----6-------- -----------8---------------8---------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- ---10---8---6----6-----10h13---10----- --------------8----------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- --18---18----15----------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- 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.
