Few minor glitches, but one major one: what you labeled "part 2" starts with the pull-offs on the low "D" string, not on the "A" string (including all the reoccurences of this part). It should be: G --------------------------------- D ---------------------5-3--------- A -------------------------5-3-0--- D -5p3-5p3-5p3-0-5---3------------- Minor glitches: in the main riff (verse), it should start with 3h5-5-5-5---5-3---5-0--- etc. In 2 systems, there is a G written instead of a D as tuning for the low string.

sry, just found another one: in the "verse" line, the HOLD note is a "G" on the low D string, not an "A" as open A string ...

Not completely accurate, but enough so that I could figure out the wrong bits on my own. 4*
