Derek G...pretty decent tab, buddy, for a first attempt. Only real flaw would be the chords for the rhythm guitar...the two bottom strings should have 0's on them as those two strings ring out through-out the song. A coupla notes in the solo are a bit off but I won't quibble...close enough for government work! Nice job!
