(_______harmonics/
Octave Peddle___)
(very vague guesswork - i guess he uses the octave
peddle / double tracking
to play it - i attempted to work out to play with just
my fingers) __
Play Fast as Fuck, using loads of hammer on's and pull
off's

e-3(4)--3-p-0-0-h-3-p-0-3-3-3--h-5-v--------------
2 bars of intro
Verse 3 w/ different lyrics ("0800 666 0 yeah...")
Then Intro x many (with adlib octave 2nd guitar) ends
in feedback
Touch-tone phone noises and feedback
Then (finally:)), clean (maybe played by bass?)
