i would play a 10 on the B string because it sounds more of a 3rd than an octave to me but your way works too.

Very good tab overall, i've just noticed the intro is slightly incorrect

If you listen to the intro in stereo sound and you pan it to either left or right side you can hear that there are two separate guitars playing.
