At a point in the song, you can hear guitar switch to a less "wild" growl. 
At this point, turn down the overdrive so it's a bit clearer.

(!*!)For the rest of the song. On the "turned down overdrive part" 
you play the intro part for as long as needed. Notice 
here (left) how you play the fith fret of the A and lower E 
strings the second time, whereas you played them open 
in the intro. 

Guitar 2 
******** 
After intro, do a slide with the PINKY FINGER on Lower E string from 12th fret up, and  
quickly get 1st and 2nd 
Fingers into E5 postion (first chord). Do this at all necessary times in the song.
