Should've Known Better Tabs

(ver. 1)
Nickel Creek
This is my first tab submission, so I'm sorry if it sucks.  
I know that it is not totally correct, but I was hoping 
someone might be able to help correct it.  One of the problems 
is that the solo is played on the mandolin, so I took it down 
an octave to try and duplicate the feel on guitar.  
Any adjustments or advice would be welcomed.

Standard tuning
b=bend
/=slide
h=hammer

OK, so that's what I have.  A couple pretty obvious errors include:  
1.  The section that plays:

--------------------------------------------
------------------------------3--3----------
----------3--3----------------3--3----------
----------3--3---5---3h5----------5---------
---3h5--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------

sounds pretty off to me but I'm not sure what it really is.

2.  Everything after 

-------------------5h6--------
-----------3h4----------------
----2h3-----------------------
------------------------------
------------------------------
------------------------------

sounds a little off to me.  You really notice it listening to the recording.  
At the ending the mandolin plays the second to last note 3 times, not just 
2 as I indicated in my tab.  I just couldn't figure out where I got behind to fix it.

Hope this helps as a starting place.  Post something if you figure out improvements.
