It's difficult to say without hearing it. Could you post a recording of you playing it? If you're following the tab it should sound pretty much the same.

If it is a large file you can use a program called Windows movie maker to compress it down to a reasonable size. It can be found in c:\program files\movie maker

As the old saying goes, tone is in the fingers. You need to hit the notes a bit more clearly so they can ring more. Sounds like your other fingers are slightly touching the string your picking. Also use vibrato on some of the notes to bring out some character. Keep practicing and it will come.

 I'm also the author of
PlaneTalk - The Truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction Book. The
lesson that this book, slide-rule and DVD teach is the
most powerful of all: the 'trick' to seeing the entire fretboard as
friendly, familiar territory. If you're beyond the beginner stage -- you
know your chords, scales, maybe even modes -- but you're still wondering how
to turn it all into music, how to invent and improvise, how to access all the bits and pieces, then this is the
book for you. You will also be able to join the private PlaneTalkers'
Forum and discuss the simple visualization technique with me and many
others. - Read more here .

Testimonials
Dear Kirk,
I have been playing off and on for 30+ years and have bought countless method books and tapes.I feel that your book + video(must have both!) are the best and easiest to understand that I have ever seen.I am now beginning to understand and apply concepts I never truly understood before.I wish this were available when I was younger and had more time to practice.Thanks a million!
