I think that;
1) playing along to an existing finished recording does not constitute a cover version.
2) your contribution to the recording presented above is some amplifier noise plus the thin, scratchy, distorted electric guitar that is fractionally out of tune with all of the other instruments. (I am not familiar with the original recording.)
3) since you have Garageband for iOS, you should be able to construct full multi-tracked cover version recordings from scratch in your iPad.

My iPad is now dead, sadly. But I don't believe I sounded out of tune, I was playing the original song back to get the chords right as usual. I believe your ears are telling you wrong.

Plus, it's best to listen to it with a decent set of headphones, as I mixed it for that.

No you were a bit flat the whole time. And the solo didn't really add anything but some extra noise.
How did you record this?

I wasn't flat! For crying out loud.

You'll have to excuse me. I listened on a pair of Acoustic Research AR18s with the Grahams modification. (As preferred by producer, Hugh Padgham.)
Everything I could hear seemed to belong except the amp noise and the scratchy-sounding guitar.

I'm with the others, sounded flat, at least the little guitar I could hear

I could have been wrong, but it seemed flat to me.
I ask once again, how did you record this?

You ask us to generate an opinion, but you refuse criticism.
So instead of waiting for it to charge an record a proper cover akin to FF's suggestion, you hastily recorded yourself playing along with a recording.
The value of a listening device cannot affect the relative pitches of two sound sources within a single audio file. One could also postulate the lack of any real "mixing" present.
You're right. You've completely changed my mind by saying this. Forget everything I just wrote.

My ears don't have mouths, so they can't be telling me wrong. Now, I didn't really even hear your guitar to begin with, mainly because I wouldn't bring the volume up past "1" because I'm really not into Alvin and the $hitmonks, but a flat guitar is masked by all the other crap. It also sounds like you were recording in your room or something with your microphone in the toilet - to me it sounds really far away and like indiscernible treble noise.
As a side not - interestingly enough, what type of headphones you have on does affect your sense of pitch slightly (very slight microtunal variations). It's won't affect your perception as far off as a full quarter tone - that's on you if you're that off - but enough that you can be noticeably out of tune to an untrained listener. It's because when you're listening through headphones, you don't have any of the reverberations of listening through speakers in a room, and non-mixing headphones usually accentuate certain frequencies (usually low or highs) that affect your perception. This usually happens most to singers trying to record vocals, and that's why sometimes what you'll see is they're wearing mixing headphones (very flat EQ, trying to give them the most natural sound), but only one of their ears is listening through and headphones and their other ear is uncovered so they can hear their own reverberations which helps compensate for minor pitch discrepancies when your ears are covered. It's also why it's highly discouraged you mix with headphones unless absolutely necessary - they often "lie" because again, no reverberations, and there isn't that delay of what comes out of the right speaker going to your left ear/left speaker to right ear that gives you a perspective of location in the mix. I don't think headphones causing pitch issues is the case for Nathan's recording though. It's off because he's off.

:/ you guys really haven't heard it right. It's best listened to on decent sets of headphones, besides, I could hear the guitar fine. I mixed it to suit my headphones I was wearing at the time (No name Chinese) And it worked well.

My tired old get ears detect:
1) A professional recording of a well-arranged song.
2) Approximately forty seconds of buzzing, as if the pickups of an electric guitar are too close to a computer monitor.
3) One electric guitar that sticks out from everything else in the arrangement by dint of being an unpleasant sound and fractionally out of tune.
Not all of the strings are out of tune. The issue might actually be intonation.
I have nothing against slightly out of tune guitars. Some of my all-time favourite recorded music depends on this to create the overall vibe for the song in question. e.g. "Gimme Shelter".
I mention these aspects because they are what distinguishes that one guitar part from everything else in the video presentation. My conclusion is that items 2) and 3) are your contributions.

If you're gonna tell us that it's best to be listened to on a decent set of headphones (which I use all the time) then don't proceed to say that your own headphones are a no name Chinese set. I've listened to this through 3 different pairs (a set of Sennheiser monitoring headphones, a pair of Marshall Amplification earbuds, and my iPhone headphones) as well as my AKAI studio monitors. Your guitar is out of tune or has intonation problems. You also didn't really add anything to the song and from what I can hear, you miked your guitar up with a potato.
I get what you're doing, but lets be honest here, it's not very good. Keep trying though. You'll get better.
