Ending
Although the tab is somewhat cluttered with slight variations
of the same leads, I thought it necessary to tab them out in
this manner as it seemed the best way to achieve clarity. If
you can suggest a clearer way of doing this then please don't
hesitate to inform me. Any other comments or corrections are
also welcome.
In addition, I encourage you to register a rating that reflects
the quality of this tab. The only way I know that a tab needs
improving or not is if people give it an accurate rating.
Thanks in advance.
