Yeah I’ve always played it 5 to 9 but I did notice that in your tab it’s 5 to 8Cool cover!
Two things:
In the lead part in the verse, you somehow always hit the wrong note in the slide, can that be? Or is your guitar just a bit out of tune?
And what I also notice is that you hold your pick at an extreme angle to the string. Have you tried changing the angle a bit? The more parallel, the cleaner and harder your picking.
What the... what kind of guitar is he playing? His playing is really good!
