   \   -> slide up.    \   It can be after or before the note,

No Picture Psyconic n00b!	#3 by Psyconic None at Aug 6, 2006 at 3:01 PM EST
	Great Tab dude...! I enjoyed it. Thanks.

No Picture Craigy Average	#4 by Craigy t at Aug 14, 2006 at 11:39 AM EST
	I was just thinking about the conection between Hard to concentrate and Wet sand, and there is certain special depth that you can find in both, and this great love... and both incline to marriage ("take out bride" in Wet Sand and "make you my family" - or something like that - in Hard To Concentrate) wet sand is my fav though ...I could die at the ending "you don't form in the wet sand" genious

No Picture The Angel of De Lead Player	#5 by The Angel of Death at Feb 13, 2007 at 10:47 AM EST
	i think wet sand refers to when you stand in the wet sand and it makes a footprint. perhaps she doesnt "form" because he sees her as something more than human, like an angel or something. unlike himself. thats just the image i get...
