It plays soo slowly I didn't think the fret choices needed to be optimized for closeness and speed. I prefer the higher tone the e string provides.
Or maybe I don't really see why you changed what you did?

Not that I mind feedback, I feel like I don't get enough actually and there have been many times where I wanted feedback on a tab. I have a lot to learn. But I have also learned awhile ago that your pretty much on your own when making a tab. I have never complained about this nor would I. I realize how valuable everyone's time is, and we all have too much to tab and not enough time to do it!

What bothers me about this is the fact that I have submitted tabs before with mistakes (where I needed good suggestions) and they were completely ignored, while something as trivial as this is brought up. My latest tab solar inferno is far from perfect and I probably submitted it too soon. Or to site another example more specifically, absolute chill the ending is awkward and it could probably be improved by changing the tuning by tightening the second string one fret, a revision I have recently begun to consider. (what is your opinion on that? Honestly I'd like feedback on that tab more than an easy tab like this one that a beginner could play which i probably never would have submitted in the first place except for the fact that I was peer pressured into submitting a recording and it needed a tab to go with it) *deep breath*

That is what I think.
I'm sorry if I'm coming off like an asshole but maybe you can see the absurdity of this from my perspective.

I appreciate the support you've given me in the last year Vic. And I didn't write what i did up there in an attempt to offend anyone here.
I remember not getting much help from the wop forums or the shoutbox last year. Of course I probably could have been more aggressive, asking multiple people the same thing or bumping my threads until i finally get an answer, or sending out PMs, but I am a generally shy person and that seems like annoying pushy behavior to me.

I wasn't offended. just confused as to why this tab was picked apart when it's fine and I've had others that deserved your critique but didn't get it.
speaking of which it would please me to hear your opinion on the absolute chill change I mentioned above, or your other thoughts on that tab or solor inferno.

I don't think the ending of absolute chill is awkward. The only thing that might make it a little easier for some people is changing the four 10's on the e string to 15's on the B string.

I did find one small mistake though. In the first staff...

e----8--7----------8--10-7--------12--10-7-----15--13-12--5-7-8-10----------|
B-5-------8-----5----------8---8-----------10-------------------------------|
G-----------7---------------------------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

And in the fifth staff I would add:

e---0-8--3-1-0----0-9h10--5-3--------3-5--8--12--13--17-15-13-----------------|
B-----------------------------6--5-6--------------------------15--10-11-13--14|
G-2-------------2-------------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

well, there is some hard/weird fingerings. you could make them easier

e---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-----9-------9-------10-------10-------9-------9-------10-------10---------|
D-0-7---7-0-7---7---8----8---8----8-0-7---7-0-7---7---8----8---8----8-------|
A-----------------6--------6------------------------6--------6--------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

this one, for example, from absolute chill. I think its odd to play open strings in this kind of riff, so I think its easier to do that :

e---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-----9-------9-------10-------10-------9-------9-------10-------10---------|
D---7---7---7---7---8----8---8----8---7---7---7---7---8----8---8----8-------|
A-5-------5-------6--------6--------5-------5-------6--------6--------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Again, its how I feel myself about playing guitar. Its just that I think its easier and sound better

Thank you RexLeRouge and hslesperance for your input.
Rex: that was a fingering I had a hard time deciding on, and I ultimately decided the open string was easier.
however, since you feel it works better and sounds better on that riff I'll change it. and really when
you think about it, it makes sense...
Hsle: thanks for catching those errors, its something i never really noticed while playing. and changing 10
to 15 would probably be best

the 7th and 8th staffs of the tab was what I thought could benefit from some different tuning. Heh sorry I should have been more specific but I thought it stood out. But since both of you think is it fine I won't worry about it.

thanks again!
