Guitars 1 and 2 are pretty much fully tabbed out. Guitar 3 produces some

Guitar 2 (EAEAAe) (Both Speakers)
It's hard to hear what guitar 2 is doing at the start (maybe nothing) but this
is what one of the guitars is doing at least.
Intro: 00:00-1:27
Light Distortion
1:28-3:17
(Stuart hits the top of the neck with a drumstick, any object will do)
3:18-3:40
3:41-4:05

4:06-4:17 Silent
For this section it's really hard to tell what's happening.
4:18-4:41
4:42-4:53

Turn on Heavy Distortion
4:54-5:18
5:19-5:35

Guitar 3 (right speaker)
Part 1 0:00-0:57
Part 2 0:58-1:27
Part 3 1:28-1:37
At this point this guitar starts just producing mass amounts of feedback or
something on the 17th fret of e. It does this through pretty much the whole
song.
