Smooth Tab

Smooth - Santana ft. Rob Thomas (Long version)
 
 
The other tabs for this song are good, but they have many slight
errors and none of them sound exactly like the record. I've
spent many hours tabbing this song note for note, so any feedback
would be appreciated. This is only my 2nd tab, but I'm 99% sure
its completely accurate
 
Enjoy!
