Acoustic parts are missing some extra notes and synth plays some of these parts but this
is for the most part correct. Hopefully it will be accepted at last!

When it comes to minor points like this its really not worth posting at all - the tab works, and for my guitar my way is actually easier to play because it has such a thick neck. i'm sure anyone trying to play this can work out an alternative way themselves.

Just a correction on the high e-string solo, instead of sliding down to the 10th fret of the e, replace it with the 15th of the b, makes it a bit easier in my opinion: Ex) Instead of this: e|-15--15-15--15-15-14-12-10--10-| B|-------------------------------| G|-------------------------------| D|-------------------------------| G|-------------------------------| E|-------------------------------| Replace with: e|-15--15-15--15-15-14-12--------| B|------------------------15-15~-| G|-------------------------------| D|-------------------------------| A|-------------------------------| E|-------------------------------| and replace all other 10th fret E's as such

One small thing, the second arpeggio is not two how it is, it has a second fret on the D string, which I believe makes it Cadd9.
