Sounds alright to me :)

Nothing wrong with this version but the basic pattern can be simplified, since your fingers never have to leave the low E and A strings: do the fingering pattern as shown above for the C9sus4 part; slide up 2 frets and do the same pattern for the D9sus4 part; then slide up 2 more frets and do the same pattern for the Em11 part (with the addition of the open low E notes at the end at both phrases, as shown above). And do it all over and over and over again ...
