1. In bar 20 (and again in bars 26, 48 and 67), the C played on the A string
(fret 3) might actually be a C# (fret 4). On some days it sounds to me
like one, on some days the other... take your pick.
2. In bar 21 (and again in bars 27 and 49), the first 8 sixteenth notes are
straight, the next 2 sixteenth rests and 10 sixteenth notes are sixteenth
triplets (the notation is a little obscure).
3. In bar 44, the muted sixteenth triplet on the A string should be played
using your favorite "fast-slap-triplet" technique. If you can make them
faster than a sixteenth triplet, even better!
4. To get the RH tap pull-off in bar 53 (and again in bars 57-61), tap both
the RH tap note and the pull-off note together with two fingers on the
right hand (I use 'a' for the tap note and 'i' for the pull-off note).
Then just pull off with the upper right hand finger (e.g. 'a'). It helps
to anchor your RH thumb on the top of the neck.
