"genius" by pitchshifter
from www.pitchshifter.com

this should get you started...

tuning - high to low: DAFCGD (down 1 whole step)

intro noise - it's a sampled noise, but you can try throwing some effects
over fret 7 on the 1st string (high D)

bass riff
F |----------------------------------|
C |----------------------------------|
G |----------------------------------|
D |-3p0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6--|

main guitar riffs
d |----------------------------------||----------------------------------|
A |----------------------------------||----------------------------------|
F |----------------------------------||----------------------------------|
C |----------------------------------||----------------------------------|
G |-5-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8--||-5-------2---2-2-7---7-7-8---8-8--|
D |-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6--||-3-------0---0-0-5---5-5-6---6-6--|

high part - try to get some noise on this one, either with some crazy
flanger pedal or chorus or something, or hit a few harmonics while
you're sliding up the fretboard
d |----------------------------------|
A |-8p7~~~-6~---slide-up-to-fret-22--|
F |----------------------------------|
C |----------------------------------|
G |----------------------------------|
D |----------------------------------|

start-stop riff
d |---------|
A |---------|
F |---------|
C |---------|
G |-5-2-----|
D |-3-0-----|

you can make a noise similar to that screwed up "car tire" sample by
half-muting the string and moving your hand around spastically hitting
random harmonics. or just forget about it.

solo-ish thing towards the end:
(this is actually one of the samples at the end of "infotainment?")

these first few notes are
played _very_ fast:
d |-------12-12-14-12-/19~~---------------15-14------------------------|
A |-12-15-------------------------------------------12/-?-12~~--------|
F |--------------------------------------------------------------------|
C |--------------------------------------------------------------------|
G |--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D |--------------------------------------------------------------------|

that's about it
