There are some slight changes in in timings and repetition's but you can get the hang of it.
You can work out the order.
************************************
| / slide up
| \ slide down
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| ~ vibrato
| + harmonic
| x Mute note
| b Bend
| pb Pre-bend
| br Bend release
| pbr Pre-bend release
| brb Bend release bend
************************************
To play along with the album version put your capo on the fourth fret instead!
Also, I think more bass notes are played throughout the main riff and there's also an extra note he hits on the fourth bar which I think is an F#.
I think he also plays a lot of bass notes in the instrumental bit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMJJHoqKxDM
if you watch this video he plays that hammer on part at the end of each verse different to what you've tabbed, but i cant figure it out can you re tab it ?
