Hi Mike – I wanted to get your thoughts on tweaking the fingering in your tab for this one. In beat 4 of measure 2 (and similar places throughout), what about sliding the left hand up the neck and using finger 3 instead of 1? That way, the left hand progresses up the neck and in place to get fingers 1 and 3 ready for measure 3. Right now, I’m playing the song slowly, so if you think this alternate fingering won’t work when playing the song fast, let me know. Thanks, Michael
