well done my friend. especially if you have just learned it. here's my attempt. i had the opposite problem to you RS8, i've just got a new recorder so i'm getting used to the levels, so the backing is really quiet in the mix.

Any suggestions for my attempt? the trills at the end are harder that i first thought
what pickup are people using? i've gone for the neck pickup on my single coil strat.
hopefully i'll post another attempt at bed of roses tomorrow, with the harmonics in the right place.
