Sounds better with tone control all the way down.

Intro: Guitar 2  Rhythm (Dustin) Starts slowly, then slows before going quickly.

Chorus (x1): Guitar 2  Rhythm (Dustin)
D|---------------------------| You can either strum this 8 times per power 
A|---------------------------| chord, or 16 times. Both sound fine. So does
F|---------------------------| kind of playing along with the same rhythm as
C|-4>-8>-11>-6>--4>-8>-6>-4>-| Teppeis part.
G|-4>-8>-11>-6>--4>-8>-6>-4>-|
C|-4>-8>-11>-6>--4>-8>-6>-4>-|

Verse 2: Guitar 1  Lead (Teppei)
D|----------------------------------------|

Then I think Dustin comes in and they both play:

C|-------------------------------------|

This is the second way he plays the ending of the        
chorus riff thingy. Play both endings alternately
That mean you will play both endings twice
(1,2,1,2)

Chorus Contd. These are the weird slide things that are in the background.

Outro: Both Guitars (I think)  Same as Teppeis lead chorus riff, which is:
D|-14-----14-----14----13---13---13---13---|

Play this the same way you did the chorus
(1,2,1,2) Play it a lot. All the way until the end
of the song.
