Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

PLEASE NOTE
-----------
This tab is not 100% complete. And while close, it's not 100% accurate either.
Some idiot gave me 2 stars on a tab I made for Luciforms because it wasn't 100% complete.
With that tab, as well as this one, I am merely providing a starting point (and a solid
at that)
for whoever wants to use it.
Here's a link to a video of me playing this tab.

These are the "chords" during the breakdown. (When I turn the dial...)
Omar plays some lead with either heavy phase or wah.
Am C Dm F E (Repeat)
