You played an accurate transcription of Villanova Junction, thank you :-))))

The piece is in A minor scale (5th fret), and easy to play once you get used to
play the octave riffs.

For the main octave riff, I always use my thumb for the lower strings of the
first 4 notes and play 5th note and octave slides with my index finger
and pinky:


--------------------------|
-----------8--------------|
------5-7----7/9\7\5-7----|
-7-7-------5-----------7--|
------3-5----5/7\5\3-5----|
-5-5-------------------5--|
 T T  T T              T

I fret 6th and 5th string like so, but you'll find the most comfortable fingering
position for yourself after a few runs through the song. This is just the fingering
I use. Furthermore, fret 6th (low E) string with your thumb throughout the entire
song.

You can improvise on minor scales yourself and stretch the song to 5-10 minutes.

Hope you enjoyed:-)
