It makes the velocity and attack easier to achieve. I also recommend this approach for Busted Bicycle. If nothing else it takes me out of my four finger rut(Kottke is rumored to have twenty fingers, but I think he used only three of them for this one). I'll make right hand fingering indications that I think keep a regular momentum going(which includes picking out a note here and there on the first and second strings with the thumb). The arrangement turned out to be deceptively simple. It's chimey and gorgeous and very easy to get to from standard tuning. It is definitely meant to be played on a twelve-string. I think listening to the recording of it first is absolutely necessary to get a feel for it since I've omitted timing indications(I'm too lazy, but my guess is you're not going to want to bother to learn it unless you've heard it played anyway). "X" == mute the note e.g. ---X7--- "h" == hammer "p" == pull off to that note "\b" or "/b" == bend down or up to note "\" or "/" == slide down or up (attention) mf freely, whatever
