I know the guitars probably have effects on them but I can’t quite figure out which ones they are using, but I know what they are playing at least.

When it says “Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam” you pick the 4 on the “E” then you bend it, and then when it says “Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands, Good news will work its way to all them plans” you play the 4,3,and 2 bending those as well.
