Other dude's tab for the song just looked and sounded off.
A suggestion for Isaac Brock's parts; if you have a Dunlop
Crybaby, set it about half-way between bass and treble and
it makes an awesome sound, almost just like this song. I'm
sure he uses an echo pedal though. He normally uses Digitech
Pedals, but he also uses a big, red whammy pedal, I forget
the brand name. I don't know Dann's effects though.

This is that little picking riff you'll hear now and then. He kind of plucks the
8's, 5's and 3's.
