Intro

(Note: there's another guitar playing in the background too, but I can't figure it out.
Another possibility is that they added an effect to the guitar. If anybody knows
e-mail me, please.)

repeat 4x before drums come in.

Just repeat this through out the whole song except when the electric guitar comes in.

 Right before starting the power chords
 do a quick palm mute slide on the low E string: 11\2

   E5          G5     D5
