It's a good tab, but I think it sounds better like: [tab] -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -----------1------------1--1---------- ---0---2---------0---2---------------- [/tab] Could be just the way I'm playing it, but I think it sounds better without the hammer ons (Same with the other variations of the main riff).
