Lots of techno stuff, not so sure what is guitar and what isn't, but
heres tab for it.
In much of the rythm of this song, about 3 or more 'intruments' play
the same part with differnt sounds. The bass plays the same thing as the
rythm (So I would assume).  So, if you needed a bass tab, just play the
bottom nots (tab wise) of the rythm parts on your base. Remember, the
bottom for strings of a guitar are the same as a bass, just an octave
lower. Anyway, here's the music.

Here, on the v's you shake the whammy bar and at the last twelve you lower the bar. (1:33)

Super fast awesome solo that alternates from two guitars with different

tones is played here. It would take me a year to tab this thing out :P (2:41)

I haven't found a very efficient fingering to play these notes, but here is what they sound like. Maybe try barring the 1st fret, holding the G-3 with your ring finger, and use your pinky to play the A-3 and A-4 Repeat that a bunch, then after that there are these 2 lightly distorted chords. D C
