Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

If a fret is in parenthesis with a slide symbol next to it that means that
you use the whammy bar to reach the pitch of the that fret. If the fret in
the parenthesis is 0, then it means you go lower than the pitch of the open string.

 Interlude 1 (0:09-0:40)

 This riff isn't played consistently, sometimes the octaves are played
 more or less times throughout the song.

 Then after that diminished run Larry turns on a harmonizer set 3 halfsteps up and
 plays some random notes while using the whammy bar. Then he does this:
