NOTES
To get the warped sound you can hear on each chord in the chorus, lean
*very* slightly on the whammy pedal (still set an octave down)
During the solo theres a second guitar line in the background which i
haven't tabbed. When they did this track on tv Matt was using a short
delay to fill out the solo sound. Try something around 800ms with the
feedback on minimum so you only get one repeat.
