Notes: I played the main riff on the 2nd string, 2nd fret to get that added twang but
you can just as easily play this song on the 3rd string, 7th fret, and adjust accordingly.
I'm not entirely sure how he got that metallic, clanging sound but the palm muted notes
and the dead notes have a lot to do with getting the right sound.
