I have been thinking about how a fast rolling chord pick is notated in tab. Standard music notation would show 16 or 32nd notes in a diagonal pattern which would have told me the chord was rolled fast. I just looked through a tab book and I think that a strum arrow, with the body as a wavey line is used to indicate a rolled chord pick.though it still doesn't give a clear indication of speed. I have always liked the standard notation with tab as a double check for the timing and nuances of a piece, it tends to fill in the blanks.
