The clean intro is OK but the first distorted riff should be this: |--------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------7-----10----| |-8--8--8--8--8--8-----1--1--1-----8-7----8-7| |-5--5--5--5--5--5---0-1--1--1---------------| |--55-55-55-55-55-55-0--11-11-11-------------| PM .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

My only suggestion is I think they hit octaves instead of single notes in the 3rd riff of the song. |--------------------------------------------------|----------------| |--------------------------------------------------|----------------| |----8---8---8----------------8---8----------------|----------------| |----x---x---x----------------x---x----------------|----------------| |----6---6---6-000-0-000-0----6---6-----1-0-1/4-3-1|----------------| |-000-000-000--000-0-000-0-000-000-0000-1-0-1/4-3-1|----------------| ... ... ... ... . ... . ... ... .... . . Other than that this tab is right on. Nice job.
