OK, here is the correct way to play this song, as transcribed by Tommy himself. I did 
leave out a few of the fills but I want you all to get the basics right from the source. 
Enjoy

Morello uses the pickup switch technique above, I use a pick slide technique with a 
palm mute that gets pretty close, just try it by ear and do what works for you. I can send
you the exact method info if you want.

That about it short of a few fills and a few over dubbing nuances. I hope this 
clears up some curiousity about a few parts guys
