with lots of distortion and volume.

tune down and hold it.  Then tune up to dropped Db while holding the
open note

I think that this is right for the most part.  Whenever I play it with

You'll probably have to get the rythms down yourself, but other than that i
think its pretty accurate.  It looks like alot but its not really that much.
Hope it helps.
