[Intro]
 
Guitar 1 (Intro with reverse delay effects)
 
Notes for lead guitar intro part:
Start by strumming the 1st string/open e to match the tempo heard in the song.
The overlapping sound is created by using a 'reverse delay' effects pedal.
Then start to speed up the strumming as the intro goes on.
Eventually it becomes tremolo picking once the drums start to come in.
The 'droning' sound is created by decreasing the delay speed on the effects pedal.

Continue tremolo picking 1st string.
Increase feedback level slightly to make the guitar sound ongoing forever.
Quickly reduce the delay speed to create the 'droning' sound.
Repeat this three times; on the third occasion make the droning last a few more seconds.
