it sounds like the guitar is a telecaster the neck pickup
is the one that sounds like its used mainly except during the
intro riff. also for the intro im very possitive that there
are more than one guitar playing at the same time so im just
doing the best i can to put them together.
dropped d
intro (this isnt the exant strum pattern)
