Hi! I noticed this tab has pull-offs marked across multiple strings, like the second measure where it goes from 4th fret on 2nd string to open on 1st string. I've only seen pull-offs done on the same string and don't quite get the concept or technique with doing one across two. Is the idea that you push your strumming finger through both like a galax lick?

Good question. That technique is what is called an ASPO (alternate string pull-off). For this specific example, I use my middle finger fretting hand to slide from 2-4 (2nd string) in the first measure. Middle finger stays in place for the brush stroke. Immediately after the brush, my index finger comes down on the 1st string, 3rd fret in preparation for the pull-off. 2nd string is then struck while fretted at the 4th followed by the index pull-off on the 1st. Alternatively, you could do a 4-2 pull-off on the second to get the same effect.
