First line:

      E  E   Q     Q     Q       E   E  Q    Q    Q       E  E  Q    Q    Q     
E||---------------------------|------------------------|--------6----6----6----|
B||--10--8--------------------|---------8----8----8----|-----------------------|
G||---------10----10----10----|--9--10-----------------|--7--7-----------------|
D||---------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|
A||---------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|
E||---------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|

What I hear is this:

      E  E   Q     Q     Q       E   E  Q    Q    Q       E  E  Q    Q    Q     
E||--12--10-------------------|-----------10--10--10---|--------13---13---13---|
B||---------13----13----13----|--12-13-----------------|--8--8-----------------|
G||---------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|
D||---------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|
A||---------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|
E||---------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|

That might seem like a big correction since I changed every note, but actually you're very close. Every single note, except the first two of the third measure, are exactly a perfect fifth below what they should be. Those two notes are a perfect fourth below. Apart from unison/octaves, this is the simplest harmonic relationship (3:2) and sounds very close to unison.

But it's not the same thing as unison, and you need to train your ear to hear the difference. It sounds fairly good, because it harmonizes, so the notes don't sound "wrong" exactly. And, you're hearing the intervals between the notes, so almost everything moves by the correct amounts from note to note, so if you just made sure to get the first note right, you'd have gotten just about everything right here XD

The next line:

  E  E  Q    Q    Q       Q     E   E   E   E   Q     
--8--6--5----5----5----|-------10--10--10--10--12----|
-----------------------|-----------------------------|
-----------------------|-----------------------------|
-----------------------|-----------------------------|
-----------------------|-----------------------------|
-----------------------|-----------------------------|

This should be:

  E  E  Q    Q    Q       Q     E   E   E   E   Q     
--15-13-12---12---12---|-------17--17--17--17--19----|
-----------------------|-----------------------------|
-----------------------|-----------------------------|
-----------------------|-----------------------------|
-----------------------|-----------------------------|
-----------------------|-----------------------------|

Spot on, you're hearing the intervals between notes perfectly here, but everything's off by a perfect fifth (7 frets).

BTW I think I'm an octave up here XD

lol, thanks a lot... but does that octave thing mean that the first line should be this?

E E Q Q Q E E Q Q Q E E Q Q Q
E||---------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|
B||---5--3--------------------|---------3----3----3----|--------6----6----6----|
G||----------5-----5-----5----|--4---5-----------------|--0--0-----------------|
D||---------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|
A||---------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|
E||---------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|

edit: what the? How do you line things up?
