[Notes: the guitars are so distorted it's hard to tell, but the chord

notated as Am7 might actually be A7#9 (54555x) - try both and see

which you think sounds more like the record. The bass is definitely

tuned below concert pitch (see the second break), and I suspect that

the distorted rhythm guitar is as well - try tuning to DGCFAD and

playing in Em/Fm/F#m. -- AWR]
