alright, as far as i can tell its a great tab, but if you're going to say its horrible, give some sort of explaination. so i don't get confused, cause some people actally post tabs that seem right but are wrong, and i need to know if you guys are just being dicks.

This is pretty well correct, although I'm wondering...in the solo after you rake the 12th fret from high E to D, try playing the 14th fret on the D string after you rake, then continue. Just a suggestion, and it sounds alright.
