This is my first submitted tab, and I'm pretty sure it's correct. I don't have all the guitar parts tabbed, and I don't know who plays which part, but I'll mention where I think there are multiple guitars.

There is a 2nd guitar playing a high-pitched melody which I can't work out. Sorry folks.

There's a fill here with both guitars playing a small solo together, which I can;t for the life
of me figure out, then it goes to this riff at the end.

At the two big gaps in this bar, guitar 1 plays a harmonic above the 2nd fret on the A string, and guitar 2 does some crazy pick-scratching.
