You got all of the chords right, except the A/E and C#m11. In my opinion, the A/E chord should be A/B. The C#m11 doesn´t sound right in my ears. I think the ultimate-guitar example is better (x42442). I would personally not play all of the chords like you play them, however they are correct. Some chords feel too muddy, if you get what I mean. Great job otherwise :)
