(3:47) distortion stuff comes up

crank distortion, pedal if u have 
get close to the amp to get feedback as u do this
Listen to the song to see when it feedbacks. I think
he uses a wah here to so it makes it deep but with 
that weird effect.

1 - strum with picking thumb, other fingers readying
    the tremolo bar
2 - mute with fret hand thumb or your choice.
3 - wah or tremolo to ben the sound
F - peak feedback

  1  2      3  F
e--------------
B-o--x-x-x--o--   Repeat this distortion pattern
G-o--x-x-x--o--   a bit, it varies. Listen to the
D-o--x-x-x--o--   song if you want that exact
A-o--x-x-x--o--   pattern
E-o--x-x-x--o--

(3:53)                    with the drums here

(3:56)
                                hold this note
                                and peak feedback
