There are two studio versions of this song, the single version and the album version. The only difference between the guitar parts is the intro solo is only in the album version and Luke doesn't bend the chord during the first verse in the single version, everything else is the same. [Intro Solo]

Luke enters on the 9th repetition of the Isaac's part, he strums the chord at the same time that Isaac plays the low D powerchord. Sometimes he will bend the 4th fret up a half step then release, there's not really a pattern to it, just throw it in randomly.

Both play this, mute the A string with your index finger.

D|------------12----| (I like to play harmonics on the 12s on the D / A string

The guitar during the noise section is really hard to hear, looking at live performances, it seems like they continue playing the previous riff but then eventually just improvise and make up something. [Verse 3]
