This is an absolutely amazing song, especially compared to thier other stuff.
Don't tune down, just play the root-6 chords as 6-root chords. There are
loads of effects in this song, and i've tried to give you a general guide,
but sorry if it's wrong.
Intro (wild guess here)- Use phaser and distortion , ^= 1/4 tone bend.
