in the end of intro a little bend may also help and what's up with using 2nd and 3rd frets instead of 7th and 8th in "I need to watch things die" part? I mean, it's not that hard to reach, but the sound comes out tighter + no muting string and if it comes to someone who's not that good at guitar, but wants to play Tool song, this may actually help the player to develop his fingers, which will help in further playing
