the firs part E is on 17 not 5 and i play on high frets
Lack of accuracy. note are not near the actual song sadly is a good attempt but could be much better. there are others that are just better
Still wrong. The intro is an open D, with a F on the A string. ( the note that separates the open D ). :)
