There's actually not that much to learn. In all it's only 3 different guitars
coming in and out, each one playing its riff; almost like samples.
The bass then determines the root of whatever unusual chord come out of mixing
these different guitar "samples". This song is as indie rock as it gets! :)



 Guitar 1

|----9--9-----9---9---9-|----9--9-----9---9---9-|

 Guitar 2
***********
Plays an 8-bar riff. Play the first bar 3 times with the first ending (4),
then play it another 3 times with the last ending (8).
Let all the strings ring out.

(1-3)(5-7)                             (4)               (8)
|-------2-----0-------0---0-----|      |-2------4------| |-0------0------|
|---0-------0---4--p0-------0---|      |-0------0------| |-2------4------|
|-------------------------------| 3x   |---------------| |---------------|
|-------------------------------|      |---------------| |---------------|
|-------------------------------|      |---------------| |---------------|
|-------------------------------|      |---------------| |---------------|


In the last 2 bars of the Intro, before entering, play this little fill.
Strum the two notes and slowly bend the B-string up to match the E note:
|-0-------------|---------------|
|-4b5-----------|---------------|
|---------------|---------------|
|---------------|---------------|
|---------------|---------------|
|---------------|---------------|

Also, in the verses produce some distorted screaming notes in the background.
I didn't transcribe this since it's very vague and impossible to decipher.




 Guitar 3
***********
  A                  B                  E                  F#m
|---5-5----5--5--5-|---7-7----7--7--7-|---0-0----0--0--0-|---2-2----2--2--2-|
|---5-5----5--5--5-|---7-7----7--7--7-|---0-0----0--0--0-|---2-2----2--2--2-|
|---6-6----6--6--6-|---8-8----8--8--8-|---1-1----1--1--1-|---2-2----2--2--2-|
|---7-7----7--7--7-|---9-9----9--9--9-|---2-2----2--2--2-|---4-4----4--4--4-|
|---7-7----7--7--7-|---9-9----9--9--9-|---2-2----2--2--2-|---4-4----4--4--4-|
|---5-5----5--5--5-|---7-7----7--7--7-|---0-0----0--0--0-|---2-2----2--2--2-|


 The chord names of Guitar 3 altogehter with Guitar 1 would be:
  | Amaj7(add13) | B13(no7) | E13(no7) | F#m7 |
