I understand you want to jazz up the speed, but I think you really need to keep that intro closer to the original which is what totally sets the tone. I think you've gotta hear those seperate notes especially on d-0 g-2 and e-2 where the pull off is.

e---0h2-------2p0-------0--2--3--2----------2--2--2p0-------0--2--3---
b---3--------------3----3-------------------3--3--3----3----1---------
g---2-------2-----------0----------------0------------------0---------
d---0-----0-------------x-----------------------------------2---------
a-----------------------1-------------2---------------------0---------
e---------------------------------------------------------------------

e---2p0----------------------------------------------------------------
b---1-----3------------0----------2-----------3----------0-----2---3---
g---2------------------0----------2-----------4---------0------2---4---
d---0------------0-----0------0---2-------2---4--------0----0--2---4---
a----------------------------------------------------------------------
e-------------3-----3------3-----------3------------0------------------

Also I'm sure the song is a newer attempt for you, but I noticed some parts where you either skipped strings or you hit extra notes which kind of threw off your rhythm a bit.

On the right track, but imo in this case a song like comfortable serves as a nice guitar piece so straying TOO much from the original content could be a mistake. We'll have to see how you make it work with the lyrics in addition to the tempo change though.

I agree with the comments above... the rythm alters from the original... which is fine... I'd just like to hear how it works as 'the complete package' (with vocals, that is). Looking forward to some vocals on this.

Jc, i know what your talking about...In the "inside wants out" cd, he really emphasizes on singular notes...its more of a finger picked version...On the "any given thursday" dvd, he strums more of it..that was of what i was going for here...I dont disagree with what your saying though, i do need to slow it down some
