Guitar 1
e|-------|-----|-----||These are the notes I can pick out.B|-13b15-|-----|-----||Strangle the guitar with the bends.G|-------|-----|-----||There's some use of pinch harmonics on theD|-------|-----|-----||13th fret bends. Accuracy isn't A|-------|-12b-|-10b-||crucial, just make it sound dirty.E|-------|-----|-----||
Guitar 2 - use some echo or reverb (not sure with effects),
arbitrarily hit the muted strings.
