Lots of techno stuff, not so sure what is guitar and what isn't, but 
heres tab for it.
In much of the rythm of this song, about 3 or more 'intruments' play 
the same part with differnt sounds. The bass plays the same thing as the 
rythm (So I would assume).  So, if you needed a bass tab, just play the 
bottom nots (tab wise) of the rythm parts on your base. Remember, the 
bottom for strings of a guitar are the same as a bass, just an octave 
lower. Anyway, here's the music.

Standard tuning (EADGBE).

Super fast awesome solo that alternates from two guitars with different

I haven't found a very efficient fingering to play these notes, but 
here is what they
sound like.  Maybe try barring the 1st fret, holding the G-3 with your 
ring finger, and 
use your pinky to play the A-3 and A-4

Repeat that a bunch, then after that there are these 2 lightly 
distorted chords.

B|--5-------3------|
