Nicely done. But...after the first 9....7...6..., it's not full chords, but octaves. Instead of fretting the middle note:
9
9
7
You mute it:
9
x
7
So it would be:
9...7...6
x...x...x
7...5...4
+SEAL+ - 2006-09-17
I've just got a corrected version of that part...it goes like this:
------------------------------
------------------------------
9-7-6--9-7-6--9-7-6-7--6---6--
7-7-7--7-7-7--7-7-7-7--7-7---7
0-0-0--5-5-5--x-x-5-5--0------
--------------7-7-------------
