It sounds fine if the only string you drop in tuning is the low E to
a C#. I figured this out and I don’t know if it is accurate, so
modify what you find necessary. I use an Ibanez smash box distortion
pedal to play the whole song. Not really any other effects are
needed. I recommend that you play along with the cd to get the timing
down.
