Gtr. 2                                                                       N.H.
|--------------------------------------------------|--------------------------19--do a wide vibrato---|
|--------------------------------------------------|------------------------------behind the nut with-|
|--------------------------------------------------|------------------------------this note-----------|
|--------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|


Main Bassline enters:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------7--|
|------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-0-2-5-5-5-5-5-2-4-5-7-4-5-7-9-7-9----|
|--5-5-5-5-5-0-2-5--------------------------------------------------|


There are various notes thrown around on the guitar behind the above bassline.
I can't make them out as clearly as I'd like to (there are, afterall, a lot of
sounds coming at you in their songs -- with the band comprised of 10-12 members.

But these are some ideas:
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|---12-12-12-12-12-12------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|


And sometimes, I hear something like this:
|--5----5----5---------------|
|----7----7-----7------------|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|


Listen closely, sometimes there is a slight alteration in the bassline:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--|
|--5-5-5-5-5-0-2-5-----------------5-5-5-5-5-0-2-5------------------|




At 2:49 in the song, the bass does this:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--|


Then back to the main guitar riff

Then to the main bassline again.
(There are lots of weird guitar noises and feedback in the key of D played over the bass).



As the song is nearing its end (around the 4:05 mark),
one guitar is playing this riff with some weird effect:
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|---11--9--11--9---7-----11-9-11-9--7--------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|


I hope this helps out.
