and then after the drums come in, he adds even more to that, but it varies a lot. Experiment with some of these here, Just to give you an idea of some of the things that he does:

I've tagged some parts as "noise sections", this just means that it's a part so laden with guitar effects that I didn't bother trying to decypher the notes. This probably isn't even 75% correct, but at least it will give you an idea. I didn't
list the effects, since he uses so many, but you can figure those for yourself.
