normal tuning
I listened to the demo version to hear the chorus parts.
effects he uses for this song I think are
ring modulator and delay.

intro:
in the intro I think the keyboards play
the high * off on the b string to
ring out the open note.
clean, delay

opening chorus riff:
2 guitars could play for this one, I am
going to tab out the keyboard part for guitar as well
as the guitar. you could play the keyboard part and
the guitar part at the same time.
