Ugly in their nakedness

Yet under this mortal sun

  These two parts played at 5:48 are in a really weird 
  position. It's a lot easier to play certain notes on the 
  F# string but if you watch there pro shot in Sweden this 
  is where they play it for some reason.

6:31

  For 6:31 and 6:48, the trick is to activate a reverb pedal and roll 
  your volume down while you slide the note down. Guitar 1 should start 
  off picking quietly and get louder; Guitar 2 should start palm muted 
  and slowly release it.
