Here is the intro to Tripping Daisy's Raindrop.  I didn't actuall figure 
all of this out, it was mostly David Lowenfels(ellipsis@anc.ak.net), but 
I'm posting it and adding a few of my own ideas of how it is played.  The 
first thing to know is that the tuning is different, the high e string is 
tuned down to a D.  There are two guitars playing slightly different 
things, making the song sound really cool:
Guitar 1
D-3-3-3--3-3-3-8-8-8-8      3-3-3--3-3-3-8-8--8--8
B-3-3-3--4-4-4-9-9-9-9 then 3-3-3--4-4-4-9-9-11-11
G-3-3-3--3-3-3-8-8-8-8      3-3-3--3-3-3-8-8--8--8
Guitar 2
D-3--3-3-8--8--8--8
B-3--3-3-11-11-11-11
G-3--3-3-8--8--8--8
That's what I have from memory.  I'll try and figure out the rest, but 
that is probably the coolest part of the song.  Mike Farmer
 transcribed this, David Lowenfels 
figured it out(see address above).
