I'm not hearing any guitar playing in the intro or verse, except for a few stummed chords and that first riff. So I don't think those rhythm parts are actually being played.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with your assessment of the composition's tabs or song lyrics. While there may be some areas that could use improvement, overall it is a well-done piece.

For the most part, good tabbing. Wish ya better luck next time.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad my tab helped you out with those tricky chords and interlude parts! Keep on playing!
