Notes:  Verses have a distorted 
electric playing with low volume and
 tremolo effect.
Also a lot of feedback is used 
during the verses using the A 
harmonic(7th fret, G string).
It's pretty straightforward, just 
use your ears and you'll see/hear 
what's going on.
Sounds like there might be a 
mellotron or something in there too.
 Be sure to have that
driving acoustic at the breakdown 
down--best part of the song! :)  Any
questions, comments, requests just 
shoot me an email.  Thanks!
