The chords are accurate - the solo sections are only approximations, and he uses some FX that I'm not sure of on it. It's close enough for me, though - you might want to take it up an octave or something. Try to get a clean but slightly fuzzy sound on this one. My Ibanez Tube Screamer works great. Questions and comments much appreciated...
