NOTE: This is very much a WIP, and 
it's best to listen to the track to 
work out the
exact timing. I'm posting it 
nonetheless to see if anyone can 
help finish it.
Tuning: I can't be sure what he 
plays this in. It's definitely an 
open tuning, and I
suspect it's based on Open E, but I 
don't actually know. So I'm going to
 tab this as if it

were E-B-E-G#-B-E, even if 
E-B-E-E-B-E is the most likely 
suspect. I actually found this
in C-G-C-G-C-C. Getting confusing, 
aye?
Scale: F# Aeolian (natural minor)

After a couple of bars of the riff 
above, second guitar lets the chord 
ring at the end
of each bar. It's possible to pull 
both off on the same guitar with a 
capo on the
second fret (F#), but it'll
have to come off before the bit 
where the song speeds up.
