. . . . . . . . . . . . Those are light palm mutes

the rest of the intro does a few variations on that stuff
and now, the cool part...all of this is lightly palm muted...
it's hard to tell how many times he's picking each note, so I just wrote
each note once
listen to the song for the changes and speed

that's it...solo is nutso, so I didn't even bother attempting to tab it
listen to the song for speed, changes, etc.
don't forget light palm muting over the melodic lines
