Heya, folks. I figured out this tab myself, and so this
isn't according to a magazine or an interview or
anything. A few notes, first.

1: The intro is done on guitar with an octave pedal.
2: The power chords work best on the right pickup.
3: The solo works best in between the left and right
pickups.
4: In the solo, there are two parts that say "bend"
with no number before it. That means you bend
the string on the fret after "release".
5: x means palm-mute, / and  mean slide up and
down, respectively, ^ means harmonic, and b and
r mean bend and release.

Cheers!
