This is part of the tab from "Here comes the Sun". I know 2/4 means slide from fret 2 to 4. Is the tab telling me to do it 3 times? Do the double lines at the end of the second measure mean to play it 3 times?

Looks like a typo...I would guess it's just a 2 slide to 4. Does that sound right when you play it?

I've seen some people use it to indicate the duration of the note. So if an 8th note would be 2/4 a 4th note slide would be 2///4 etc. Just a slide, in any case.

Yea - it's either a typo or timing indicator? Thanks! Gut feeling is it may be timing.
