There ya go, questions, comments, concerns welcome.
Yeah looks good, I play the intro and octave lower, I think that's what stefan does to, but it's not really possible to do on a 4 stringer. looks good none the less

VERSE. Play VERSE PART 1, then choose a fill, then VERSE PART 2, then repeat as needed. The last time through the verse progression (i.e. the fourth time through every verse except the first verse, which is longer) play VERSE PART 1, then play LEAD-IN TO CHORUS.

VERSE FILLS. Many times Stefan is just sliding around on the B string. But there are several fills that he often uses that are more specific.
This one pops up every now and then. (0:57)

THIS FILL OCCURS EVERY VERSE. The sixth time through the progression on the first verse (1:23) and the third time through on all the other verses (2:07, 2:58, 3:49, 4:53).
