add vibrato on basically every note that is held for longer than an eighth of a beat... see video link
for details to get a feel for it
[Verse]
Guitar 1
Effects: thick, mid-heavy crunch tone with enough distortion to make the squealie really ring out. You want
limited mud/reverb/delay on this.
E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5
harmonic squealie (lots of vibrato) on the 5th fret of A string here (D note) e|------------------| B|------------------| G|------------------| D|-5-4--------------| A|------5-----------| E|------------------|
all of that twice... and then:
C5 C5 C5 C5 D5 D5 D5
let the final D power chord ring out
Guitar 2
Effects: spacey, ambient clean with loots of reverb, chorus, and possibly a delay effect.
In between the power chords from the first guitar... e|-------7-----7----------5-------5-------4-------4---------2------2------| B|-----5----5-----------5-----5--------5------5----------3-----3----------| G|------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[Chorus]
listen to the song to get the strum pattern... it's basically a down up down down up strum pattern of each
power chord, where all the downstrokes are palm muted. let the last strum ring out a bit.
(E5 D5 C5 D5)x2
Effects: same as guitar 1, from the verse.
and then on the second two times you do an ascending octave lick:
e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|--\9---\11---\12-----\14--| D|--------------------------| A|--\7---\9----\10-----\12--| E|--------------------------|
Followed by a unison bend lick:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|--5-----7-----8------10----------------------------------------| G|--7^^---9^^---10^^---12^^--------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------|
Effects: make it a little more spacey... I add reverb and a chorus for the octaves and the unison bends.
