1. this tab is straight from the official tab book
2. I write tabs with "phrases" of the guitar. I do not put the actual notes on the tab.
Conclusion-->This tab is right. You're a phucking moron. Go bother someone else.

1. If you copied this direct out of the book you're breaching copyright.
2. I have no idea what you mean by your second point... But why don't you do what everybody else on this entire website has managed to do...
And stick to the regular system.
Conclusion: You're a moron who has to swear to look cool. Go bother another tab website.

Oh... And please don't tell me you rated your own tab... Because that's just SAD
