very very good tab. but just 3 points: 1) I don't like the F chord you chose. I think instead if (1 3 3 2 x x) it should be (x 8 10 10 10 x) 2)first guitar to stick melody guitar. 2nd guitar should stick to strumming. 3) the part where the tab is e\|1 1 ... 0 0 b\| 3 3 .... 3 3 is too stringy. it should be: d\| 10 12 ... 9 9 g\| 12 12 .... 12 12

one more thing. to add to the bridge above (between 1:12 -> 1:37 in the song).
the 1st guitar is correct, but the second guitar part is missing. See, while the 1st guitar is switching between C and F chords at the 8th fret, the 2nd guitar is constantly playing (x x 10 12 13 x). It's there, and it sounds great. Julian does this a lot in his songs- 1 guitar switches btwen chords, and the other guitar stays on another one.
