pretty good, but you really oversimplified the verse parts, which is understandable because they're a total bitch to figure out. this is what i came up with: E|------------------------------------------------ B|-----1---3-------1---------1-------------------- G|-2---------------------0-2---2------------------ D|---------0-----------0---0---------------0------ A|---------------------------------3---3---------- E|------------------------------------------------ E|-------3p0-------------------------------------- B|---1---------5\3-1------------------------------ G|-2-----------------2---------------------------- D|-0---------0------------------------------------ A|------------------------------------------------ E|------------------------------------------------ that slide down from 5 to 3 actually might be a bend at 3. it's hard to tell because you can only clearly hear it on the second to last of the four times its played. oh, and i don't hear any open Es in the intro...

Pretty good! Haven't looked at the solo yet. I don't understand the "over-simplified" comments. Trying to tab out all of the notes (or "sounds") in the studio version might not be possible. Obviously there is a lot more going on and inbetween and what not, but it's really more like playing sloppy. Or his style and technique, like lots of that is just stuff that happened during that time Dan recorded the song. Even in musical notation, there's lots of descriptions and instructions for playing notes. As far as I know, there isn't really a "play this sloppy". Good Tab!

its good to see people taking pride in tabs
