Pretty good, I'd say about 90% correct... some of the high notes are a bit higher up the neck... I find it's easier to put the guitar in drop-C# tuning with a capo at the 5th fret. That way the 3rd fret G and 5th fret D are just played as open notes and it's easier to move your fingers around the neck for the higher notes.

I want to post comment or correction [tab]
