   mostly clean tone with a wee hint of distortion

   play that clean stuff until he starts singing then do something like this
   (based off these chords A G C D A    A G C D A F G A- the guitar behind
   the verse has a really loose feel and kinda changes each time)

   then play verse again until end(he kinda mixes the clean tone intro stuff 
   into verse so listen closely)
