The 10h12 at the end of both of these parts (along with all other corresponding parts of the song should be 8h10. Other than that, looks pretty good to me.

Yeah, in case you're thinking of the intro at the beginning not being included, that's the bass. The guitar is in the background doing little mini-solos as are shown in my tab. Besides, you probably just judged it by the beginning. if had read further, you would have seen some stuff that looked more familiar.

Yeah, you're right, I must not have noticed that... Good ear!
