This is an absolutely amazing song, especially compared to thier other stuff. 
Don’t tune down, just play the root-6 chords as 6-root chords. There are 
loads of effects in this song, and i’ve tried to give you a general guide,  
but sorry if it’s wrong. 

Intro (wild guess here)- Use phaser and distortion , ^= 1/4 tone bend.
