if you play the riff that way, it sounds crappy because there are no slides. i don't get how playing it his way could be that hard.

Maybe my ears are glued on backwards but the intro riff doesn't sound right. I've tried playing this to the actual song at half speed and it doesn't add up. I prefer to play it ------------------------------------| ------------------------------------| ------------------------------------| ------------------------------------| ----7--5---7/2-2-------3-2-3p2------| 0-0------0---------0-0---------3----| Also, check out Lifeson playing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uwlQhMS9sE

ya, pretty awesome tab...although id stick w/ the standard method of notation for the bends, hammer ons, and slides.(b= bend, p or h= hammer-on or pull off, /=slide) still 5 stars *****
