Notes:

(1) I'm not sure exactly what John Christ is doing here.  There may be an
    overdubbed tone on this note.  You really need lots of distortion to make
    it squeal.  I think a cranked tube amp like a Marshall with a touch of
    feedback does the trick!

(2) I think this actually sounds better just playing the 4th and 5th strings,
    which is why I put the 6th string note in parentheses.  It has a stronger
    sound to it, since the flatted 5th isn't swallowed up by both the root and
    octave tones.
