This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

How to get Steve's sound:

If you want to go with the EXACT guitar, use a Gibson Les Paul.

effect-wise, use a Big Muff fuzz pedal and a volume pedal, with the

chain being guitar ---> volume ---> Big Muff ----> amp. Be sure to set

the "sustain" or gain control on the Muff at a high level, but don't

make it too trebly. get a good swampy reverb sound (my amp is a

Fender Twin Reverb, and using my amp's reverb, I'll set it at around 6)

and you're all set.
