Just looked it over Missing an open note on the 3rd stirng under(2:02) and "so" you tell yourself. also the 4th note in the 2nd bar, underneath "violent roar" should be an open on the 2nd string, not the 3rd.

That hammer on on the second string takes place at the same time as the bass note played throughout each time it is played.
