I would love to be able to play this song. However 4 fret stretches (10 x x 7) are hard enough, to the point where I can only make it by the last hair on my balls. How the hell do you play a five fret strech 10 x x 6? Is there a substitution you can make there?

umm..... your hand gets used to stretches... just keep practicing. if you want you could play the octaves but it wouldnt sound right. and that tab should be shown as 6xx(10)xx ... it goes EADGBE
