K.G.L.W (L.W Album Version) - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

I tabbed this out on a 24 TET guitar fretted the same way that King Gizz fret theirs. There will be microtonal
notes in this tab which will be written in brackets  e.g. (X.5). For example, the fret halfway between the 
first and second frets would be written as (1.5) on the tab.
This is a long and mostly instrumental song with loads of different riffs so I've tried to separate all of
them into individual riffs to make it easier to learn. 
Some parts of this tab are almost certainly inaccurate as picking out guitars and note in the mix of this song
can be tricky due to the shear amount of guitars in the mix. But overall, this should allow you to play it.

I think that King Gizz tune the C#s normally found in thier microtonal tuning down to B for this song, making 
it: 
B, F#, B, F#, B, e.

[Intro]
So it sounds like two guitars layered one playing this on the middle B as I've tabbed out, and one playing it
on the high b. There is also an open high B that alternates with the main melody that I've tabbed out.

When Stu starts singing K.G.L.W for the chorus, Riff A keeps playing while the other guitars start playing
the intro riff with a few variations.

This riff is difficult, I think there's two different riffs being layered but I'm not sure. The rhythm will
take a bit to get used to.
