Tuning: Double Drop D (DADGBD)
Effects: Just fuzz and reverb. Get some trebley fuzz going, along with some
reverb, and play on your bridge pickup. 


The song is definitely in Drop D. I think it's in Double Drop D. Having a D
on the high string makes the riff easier to play later on when things get
faster. 

I'm certain there is a bass guitar layered on here, (listen closely to the solos) 
which makes some of the verse portions, e.g. 0:19, hard to transcribe. I've spent 
a lot of hours analyzing it, playing it and listening to the song at different 
speeds using software. I've transcribed to the best of my ability, and feel like 
it's spot on. 

As for the solos, e.g. 1:20, I play them on the lower strings. It's sounds better 
and I think it's how it should be. Alternatively, you could play it like this 
so you can play closer to the main riff's location:
