2007 Update: Since transcribing this song, I've seen it in Guitar World Magazine, GuitarOne Magazine, and Guitar Techniques Magazine - it looks as though my transcription is EXACTLY the same as in the Magazines (they ALL have the same chords as me, so I guess my transcription must be accurate :) Cheers . . .
