I reckon this song is purely some White Striped magic. The effects Delay and distortion are on through out the whole song, if you don’t have delay it doesn’t matter distortion will do.
(NOTE: wherever there is a ~ mark in this song it usually indicates there will be a slight break after the note you last played.)
