All good, just missing the G to Em walkdown between the end and beginning of a new loop.
eg: Em, G, D, A, [walkdown 320xxx, 200xxx]
Em, G, D, A, [walkdown]

NICE!, only thing is, its played w/ a capo on the 3rd fret, and the chords are Em, G, D, A, but if you wanna play it w/out a capo, then use the chords listed
