Excellent work as always Chris. Just a quick observation re: the tab. The Eb in bars 5, 9 and 13 is played much easier (and perhaps logically) on the 6th fret of the A string. I don't know what program you use for notation, but I use MuseScore and I have the same problem with that very same note. If I have the staff and tab linked, anytime I notate a D#/Eb the program automatically places it on the 1st fret of the D string. When I change the tab to the 6th fret on the A string it changes the staff to an inaccurate note. I had to finally give up on having the staff and tab linked. I notified MuseScore of this anomaly and sent examples, but last I check it was still acting in the same manner. I guess the Gremlins don't care for that note!
