    Awesome cover, you nailed this pretty much, you just need to work on getting the intonation of those bends in the intro part right and it'll be spot on. (The bends sounded slightly sharp but apart from that, excellent cover)

    I think you did a good video as shooting and editing, but I have to say there are some little mistakes during the closing bar of the main riff when it goes on the 16ths on A# and I'm wondering why you didn't played the harmony section in the interlude, since you have done the intro I mean. Ah and during the rhythm below the solo you are missing an A# too. But I'm not saying it is a bad interpretation, it's just 'cause I play this sing too from a long time and I have noticed this little things. However it is still an hard song to play and you have done a cool all down picking work \m/

    Sounds awesome. There are a couple things that stand out as different to me:
    1. The bends on the intro which others have noted
    2. The main riff - looks like you’re playing the same 0-7-0-7-0-7-8-7
    0-7-0-7-(8)-7 pattern each time. Listen to the isolated guitar track, you’ll hear that (8) on the 4th string is a (6) on the 6th string every other time.
    I mean this is all splitting hairs of course… freaking kick ass cover dude.
