Man, learning this with gauge 9 strings is amusing. Simply fretting the low b raises its pitch about a tone lol, uber floppy. Oh well, its just practice for when I put some nice thick ones on my other guitar :D

It's a good tab, the intor sounds a bit off especially the Guitar 2 Part but after that it's very good. 4/5.
