Please use the contact form of this site (in the top menu) and let me know what exactly you'd like to have tabbed (e.g. from 2:20 - 2.30 etc), maybe we can find a solution Ingo Hi ;) ,

Nevertheless I always felt that something was wrong with it, because I've never heard the same sound that MK produces coming from my strings. Same feeling affects your execution. So far I wondered why but I might have the answer now that I saw a video from the last tour (Pantages Theatre, 17th april 2010). You can easily found it on youtube. The big screen behind the band shows the images coming from the small camera on MK's guitar palette, during the final bits of SoS. Check from 7:09. He's not using his nails downward! He's using his fingertips upwards, then he couples the stroke downward with the thumb. It's a different kind of rasgueado technique I think, sort of a customization. I tried to play that way, well I think that's the key! It sounds exactly as MK plays it, even if I'm not totally confident with this technique yet :-) What do you think?
