I've tagged some parts as "noise sections", this
just means that it's a part so laden with guitar
effects that I didn't bother trying to decypher
the notes. This probably isn't even 75% correct,
but at least it will give you an idea. I didn't
list the effects, since he uses so many, but you
can figure those for yourself.
