Obviously it helps if you have a looper pedal and a fuzz factory (for the theremin part!)
If you have a looper, start recording your break loop when you go down the the 1st fret 
on the D string. just makes it sound better if you stop/start at all. You can bring it 
back in with just the guitar from the beginning of the break riff, then throw in the 
bass to make your head explode :D

Also, there is a part missing that i've yet to figure out and the bassline may be slightly
different from the record, due to seeing live performances.

Better than the existing one at least!
