Some advice dude,to help you make your playing smoother, as your well on your way to getting there.

That was a good attempt...

In the first verse, for an example of the few times you do this... where its "I drive all night, just to get back home", the chords are C,F,D. Play

E--x--x
A--3--x
D--2--3
G--0--2
B--3--1
E--3--1

Thats C and F, and then follow that with the normal D.

And try not to run before you can walk with the electric part, you try and play to many open whammy harmonics on the G string like Richie does, then muddle the following chord. Concentrate on the chord work, then add the embellishments later.

Keep rockin!!
