I'm still having problems with the 5/7 slide. It sounds wrong when I do that. I'll keep practicing. Is this the best tab?

I actually do that slide 5/7\5. It helps me get back into position for that D chord, since I'm headed back that way. It makes it a bit easier for me to play it faster, and I think it sounds fine.

FYI, you're giving advice to a question someone asked over 2 years ago./
