I know that Mike Mushok uses unusual tunings similar to a 7-String
or a Baritone but you can get the same sound on this song by using
the tuning for Gtr. 2. The only difference is that you need a good
bass player to play the low notes like on a 5-string bass. It's only
my 2nd tab so please be gentle.

Gtr. 1 (Acoustic) - Standard Tuning (Down 1/2 step)
Gtr. 2 (Electric) - Dropped D Tuning (Down 1/2 step)
