The hardest thing about it is, well just about everything.Keep it real by playing it slowy then when you develop speed you won't have to go back and try to fix some sloppy hammer-ons or anything like that. Practice hard, listen to the song, and be patient!!!!

Not too bad once you get the hang of it. Now as for the rest of the song it goes through the E major chords and the finger picking part then the chorus a couple times then there's this that he throws in there once in a while. I think it's an over-dub but it sounds like it's missing something without it so I'll put it in. e|-----------------------|after you hear him do this a few times do some pick slides.
