Listen for how he changes the riff to add the high notes, it's kind of subtle.
(And I don't think I tabbed it 100% correctly...)

Thurston:
D|---9~----9-9-9-9/7~---7-7-7-7\9~~--| |-------| E|-----------------------------------| thurston repeats a figure like this end on |--*5*--| w/ bar G|---9~----9-9-9-9/7~---7-7-7-7\9~~--| w/ heavy whammy bar accents |-------| D|-----------------------------------| |-------| G|---9~----9-9-9-9/7~---7-7-7-7\9~~--| focus mostly on the middle G string notes |-------| E|-----------------------------------| |-------|
Lee attacks random notes with extreme whammy bar + bends. He seems to stick between the 15th-20th frets.
B SECTION 03:56-04:36
Play four times "slow", pause w/ low E drone, then play four times "fast".
A SECTION 04:36-05:05
End on E.
