The timing of the "C" string notes is awkaward to tab out, but you'll get it by listening, it's actually pretty easy.

The "Distorted" Riff comes up a few times, and varies off of these chords.

G 3/5 5 5 5 3/5 5 5 5
D 3/5 5 5 5 3/5 5 5 5
A 1/3 3 3 3 1/3 3 3 3
C
The timing is sort of weird, and sometimes he throws in mutes/odd harmonics based around those chords.

And occasionally, he does this this tiny riff back into the other riffs, it looks like

this. it's most profound at 1:07ish

B
G 3/5 5 5 5 3/5 5 5 5
D 3/5 5 5 5 3/5 5 5 5
A 1/3 3 3 3 1/3 3 3 3
