INTRO
It's basically just the 7th position open E followed by 4th and 6th position versions of
the standard E chord shape. The cool part is just based off of an arpeggiated open C
with a couple little twists thrown in. Very simple, very cool sounding.

That is the main base riff of the whole song.

Next is the solo, which I doubt I'm going to figure out here on my acoustic guitar...
at least until I figure out how to mount that tremolo bar ;)

The first chord sounds wrong to me. Its an Em is what i hear so if its played at 7th position, wouldn't it be 079000. Leaving out the E note played on the G string to give it its minor sound. Also, the last chord in the intro he slides up and plays this e|--0-------------| B|----3-----------| G|------0---------| 4 vs. the 0 you have. D|--------4-------| A|----------------| E|----------------| Just somethings i though might help.
