Chords

The main part kind of always stays the same, which is Guitar 1, the right Guitar in the track. Guitar 2 plays this little tremolo melody in the back and the chorus. Also left guitar. [Intro] (Everything without Drums) Guitar 1

(Although it might sound like the third part is played differently, it is actually the bass with another root that gives it the altered sound.) [Verse 1] (starts as drums kick in) Guitar 1

Guitar 2 (very big reverb, almost no dry signal, it sounds like they tremolo pick it) This comes in after Guitar 1 played the riff 1 time and after 4 times. Each time you play it twice.
