You got the correct notes, it's just I think it would be better if this E---------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------- D--10-10-10-10--8-8-8-8---13-13-15-17--17-17-17-17--- A--8--8--8--8---6-6-6-6---11-11-13-15--15-15-15-15--- E--8--8--8--8---6-6-6-6---11-11-13-15--15-15-15-15--- was this instead E---------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------- D--10-10-10-10--8-8-8-8---6-6-8-10-10-10-10-10--- A--8--8--8--8---6-6-6-6---6-6-8-10-10-10-10-10--- E--8--8--8--8---6-6-6-6---4-4-6-8--8--8--8--8--- Because it sounds deeper and it's the exact same notes

The intro is correct. The bass plays the heavier riff and the guitar sits on an octave - it's been a few years since I played it and I haven't got a guitar to hand but I think it's the C at the 15th fret.

Yeah.... the riff is actually really low, it sounds heavier that way.
