Yep. Sherman was really fortunate to have Grant providing him daily battlefield advice.
Sherman received his orders from Grant. And yes, Sherman kept in touch with Grant almost daily.

"Grant & Sherman: The Friendship that Won the Civil War",
Confirms this daily communication between the two men coordinating strategy/planning.
From what I have read the less confident Sherman leaned heavily on Grant for advice/guidance. Sherman's confidence was so shaken after First Battle Bull Run that he was actually disappointed/angry that Lincoln had promoted him from Colonel(?) to General..
Sherman wasn't really confident in his abilities to have huge responsibility & was mentally fragile after Bull Run & relied heavily upon the uber confident Grant.
Enjoy Rolltide87 history lessons.
