im just looking at it now,but i havent had a chance to check what it sounds like,but the first thing to come to mind is you could be playing the notes in the lower octave i.e low on the neck like around the 2nd and 5th fret .i know i used to be playing it up around the 7th and 10th fret .if i get a chance later i will go and see if i can remember how i played it and get back to you!:)

ok so i went back and played ,it turns out it was the intro line i was thinking of when i said i was playing up around the 7th fret ,sorry about that.I had a run through the notes you put up there and most of it seems fine ,there is one or two notes out of place but other than that it seems ok.When you say it sounds wrong is it the whole thing that sounds wrong ?

im finding it hard to distinguish the high and low notes?? Any ideas..
