Except, as the video shows, this is right-hand touching AND plucking and the 
left hand is 
NOT fingering the string--it's doing a slur on a different string. And the 
sheet-music 
notation for that is "standard" since Tarrega first introduced it about 100 
years ago, though 
he probably picked it up from some folk musician.
