Bridge:

In this section there isn't much rhythm guitar so I tend to just play alongside 
the bass roots with power chords (the "5"chords) when there isn't any rhythm guitar.

            Perfect! The only thing that I see may be just a TAD off would be the A in the chorus and ending, but otherwise I think it's freaking awesome, although I may be wrong about the A sounding off. Great job.
