Breakdown (2:30)

Here is the main riff being played:

e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5---------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|

After that riff is played once, another guitar comes in tremolo picking,
starting with this pattern (listen to get the timing):


e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--12t----13t----15t----17t------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|

After that, it goes into two more choruses, and a third heavily distorted/phased
guitar comes in playing another riff. Haven't had the chance to tab that out yet.
