Name that tab notation

[bcdon]

Hey guys,

In tabs, what does this mean:

/----\ <--imagine that as a slur above the following notes
7/9

Would that mean:
- Pick 7, slide to 9, and re-pick 9
- or, Pick 7, hammer-on to 9, slide to 9?

I think it is the first one (pick, slide, re-pick) but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks.

It's a legato slide - pick 7, slide to 9. Don't re-pick 9 unless it appears again following the slide (like 7/9 9). The latter situation you posit would be notated like this:

7h9 7/9, or 7h9 /9

Thanks a lot woodchuk! I'm glad you were able to decipher my lame ascii-art notation. ;-)

Thanks again!
