Gtr 2  (0:28 - 1:02)

 This comes right at the beginning of each Gtr 1 riff, and the change up is there too. I
use Distortion, and a Whammy set to harmonize 2 octaves down.

A|------6------------|         A|-----(4)-6-----|
D|-------------------|         D|---------------|

This is that weird synth sweep. The best way I can think of to emulate this is sliding
Eb5 with a little delay and Wah Wah. The wah should not have a high tone, but needs a
sweep sound. Dunlop is the best bet. No Whammy either, but a phaser could do the trick. 
don’t have a phaser so I couldn’t tell you.

Gtr 2  (1:04)

This is for that weird transition that holds out. Maybe try adding overdrive on top of
distortion, or Swell into the chord after you pick it with the volume knob or pedal.
Style!

Gtr 2 (1:09- 1:46)

[x] - is totally optional. No need for a whammy. Just Distortion. Its very hard to hear
these note, but they are all there. During this riff It seems like gtr 3 is doing the
for gtr 2 also, but tabbing that is a little overboard.

This is that dissonant chord that’s held. It sounds really really cool cuz the notes
each other out and then it makes a pulsating sound or that’s just because I am transcribing
on an acoustic.
