The start of the song is played by the bass, but
palm muting an A chord sounds similar.

Guitar1 now uses an octave pedal, one octave up.
Alternatively, you could play this instead:

Guitar 2 messes around with the Asus2 chord and with
the D major scale.

But try messing about with the D major scale :)

In this part, there is no plucking the strings,
just finger tapping. Use left hand for frets 11+12, right for 14
