This is spot on, however I think the little begging bit goes a little somethin' like this: |18-17-15-11-10------| |--------------------| |----------------6---| |------------------4-| It also sounds like it's played on a fretless to me, but no the rest of the song. One last thing, instead of going to the 6th fret on the E, I prefer using the 1st fret on the A, but that's just me. 5/5

intro and the riff after the solo are missing and those are the hardest parts to figure out :(
