play those four bars a few times.  There are some variations 
on the {--7--7-7-7-9-9-9-7--} part on the A string, but its 
basically those two notes, with some hammer ons and what not 
mixed in.  Anyways...

         play twice
low

play twice, then

low
D--7-7-7-\2-/10--10-10-10--\5--5-5-5--5-5--5--5-5-5-5|

play that twice, then the breakdown:

A--5----0-----5----0----5----0-----5----0

A--5--5-5-5--5-5--5--5-5-0  <--play this riff for about the 
next 70 bars or so, this is the basic riff that goes through 
to the end of the song.  There is a change for a few bars 
about halfway through the feedback, but sitting here in fron 
of the computer i can't quite remember how it goes, so i'll 
get back to you.  If any part of this is wrong, i'm sorry, 
i'm doing this from memory.  obviously you have to listen to 
get the timing down, I just approximated.
