There are a total of 4 guitars in this song. For guitar 3, I would recommend using a fair amount of
reverb and possibly some 8th note delay.
Guitar #1: Highly Overdriven Electric Guitar with E-Bow
Guitar #2: Moderately Distorted Electric Guitar
Guitar #3: Clean Electric Guitar
Guitar #4: Lightly Overdriven Electric Guitar with E-Bow
