You need to add that this tab assumes half-step-down tuning, and even then you really have to flex the finger picking to make it sound like Jose's, which other tabs here have the BADABE tuning. I get that BADABE tuning is a pain if you play mostly other songs on standard tuning / etc so I get why this tab could "work" without needing to change tune if you're already in Eb (half step down). But this needs to be corrected to e-flat to work, which makes it sound like his song as performed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0EAwT1tpn8
