Hey, I think it sounds perfect, but I think the intro is easier to play this way (The ending part of the intro) You play this: |---12-13-12-10---------------------10-12-13-12-10--------------- |---------------13-12-10---10-12-13------------------------------ |------------------------13-------------------------------------- |---------------------------------------------------------------- |---------------------------------------------------------------- |---------------------------------------------------------------- But I think this is easier: |12-13-12----------------------------12-13-12------------------ |---------15-13-12----------12-13-15----------15--------------- |------------------14-13-14------------------------------------ |-------------------------------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------------------------------- I think it's easier for me, but maybe it's just me. It's only a suggestion.

Id use the first way because you can end on your fourth finger making it easier to smoothly go back to the open Eb minor riff :)

awesome job man
