The only bit I looked at was the spanish style riff at 4.19 and have a few suggestions/corrections: [tab] B|-9---7---5-----7---5---4---| G|--9---8---6-----8---6---4--| D|---11--9---7-----9---7---6-| [/tab] here, while most of the notes were correct, it's easier to do it on these strings, as you can just move you hand down the neck, rather than across the strings. Also, the last note is a 6 on D, not a 4 [tab] e|------------11-12--14-16-17-------------9-11--12-14-16--12-14-16-| B|------12--14--------------------9-10--12-------------------------| G|-13-14------------------------11---------------------------------| [/tab] and then in the second part, some of your notes were slightly off, though the idea was right. Personally, for a fiddly riff like this, I prefer to play across the strings rather than up the neck, as it's easier to get precision, but you could do it all on the e string. Like I said, haven't looked at the rest, but good start on that funky little riff
