TUNINGS
-------
Thurston: EADGBE
Lee:      EADGBE


I'm not 100% sure who plays which guitar, to be honest.

p = palm mute

A SECTION				00:00-02:50

Thurston fades in on an E chord then starts the main riff:

E-------------------2b--------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------4-2-4b-4-r4^2^0------------------2-2-2-2-2-0-0---
D---------------2-0-------------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-0-0---

That's just the first four riffs each guitar plays, I'm not going to tab
every variation. The riff for both guitars is basically just:

E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------
G------------------2-2-2-2-2-0----------------  random skronky lick around A chord
D---------------2--------------0--------------  sharp/trebley bends + pinch harmonix
A------2-2--2---0-----------------2--2-2--2---
E---0--0-0--0---------------------0--0-0--0-------------------------------------------
