i have the tab from giventowail, but I can't get it to sound right. After the first chord, you're supposed to pick single notes at the 8th and 10th frets on the A and E strings. To me, those don't sound like single notes. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
Makes much more sense

Yeah I know what you mean . . . but I think the tab is correct. If you have a wah wah pedal kick it in half cocked to emulate the tone. I'm pretty sure they are single notes though. The sound on the album is probably achieved through more and superior equipment.Whips of your opinion down my back give me more

you kind of have to strum all the strings with the beat while you finger the notes... i know that kinda sounds weird but thats how they do it. so just keep strumming the quarter beat with your right hand while you play the notes and try to mute the other strings you arent playin on with your left hand. i know this sounds kinda weird again but i hope it helps.0

the raw sound is coming from hittting the botton e and b and g strings.you do play single notes while keeping those strings open.while you're playing the single notes mute the string right below the one you're playing.jeter drinks wine coolers0

yeah, just drive the shit out of it. I just put as much gain and overdrive as I can through my shitty solid state amp and added a little reverb. It wasn't the exact tone, but the thickness was there and it was close enough to pull it off.My whole life
