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)
First guitar repeats.

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, but it'll
have to come off before the bit where the song speeds up.
