Intro [0:18 - 0:44]
The start of the song is played by the bass, but
palm muting an A chord sounds similar.

From now on I'll tab Guit1 and Guit2 seperately as
the riffs they play overlap.

Guitar1 now uses an octave pedal, one octave up.
Alternatively, you could play this instead:

Guit2 [2:25 - 2:52]
Guitar 2 messes around with the Asus2 chord and with
the D major scale.

The fuzz makes Guit2 pretty much indistinguishable,
but I can hear the chord

But try messing about with the D major scale :)

In this part, there is no plucking the strings,
just finger tapping. Use left hand for frets 11+12, right for 14
