Glad to see the full tab added to this lesson, I want to start learning this...but the tab doesn't match what Corey is playing (at least for the main lick), and doesn't match what is shows in the second lesson as the main lick. The new tab shows a 1/2 step bend on the 3rd string/seconf fret, but Corey plays a slide up to 4 and back to 2 (which is what the original tab in the lesson shows). Confusing, also very difficult to bend a wound 3nd string at the second fret.
The new tab also shows the open 6th being played in the first bar -- I'll have to watch the video again more carefully, but I don't think that's what is being played.
Hi Joe --- thanks for the feedback. If you watch the video from 0:20 to 0:40 you will see that Corey is bending the 3rd string for the main lick. He likely also plays the lick like you suggest with a slide. It's very common for roots Artists to do this as they are typically "speaking" through their instrument --- and the exact phrasing varies. The variations also tends to make the music more interesting.
Corey often utilizes "brushes" of varying intensity to give the song breath --- i.e. make it alive. The 6th string being played is a "brush" and it's best to loop it to get the sonic feel of it --- and then work on it via your ear. To say it another way --- the brush is more about the touch and feel than the notes.
I've been on the fence about signing up with Sonic Junction, Corey this lesson sold me. I'm a beginning guitarist but I'm really eager to add singing to my playing and anytning that can help is gold. Looking forward to working through more lessons!

I hope that helps.
