Re: Reading tab.

Hi Jared,

  Just guessing here, but it might be that the tabber was using a double stroke to indicate a bend rather than a slide.  Like pick 12, bend to 13, relax to 12, pick 12 and slide to 15... etc.  Might give that a try and see if it sounds correct.  Most keyboards don't have the correct symbols for music, so sometimes improvisation is required.

Take Care;
Doug
