Ok, heres the tab, frets are correct cos the pitch matches perfectly. Also got
the quiet but cool variations on guitar 2's ending. Enjoy.
Guitar 1: These frets are absolutely correct, others have put the same structure
in a different position but this position matches the cd.
Because this is played so fast, you need to alternate-pick it, normal down picking
can be done but it gets tiring after a while. Or alternatively you
could use the Line 6 DL4 to make 1 repeat really fast...

Guitar 2: comes in with slight feedback when guitar 1 plays the "8-8" on G string
(turn up volume at this point so it's max by the last "9-9" on F string)
