For this riff, I use:

index = 12th fret
middle = 14th fret on the D string, ring on the E string.
pinky = 15th fret

Yeah, thanks. I'll be trying them too.

By the way, I had a chance reading upon your Playbook series lessons in WN. Very informative, stage-by-stage lesson and a good reference, too.
