Tabbed by myGartenarbeit (myLinkinPark19HD)
I would recommend you to watch my cover on youtube,if you want to play this tab as exact as possible
(time notations refer to my video, not the album version!).
I am not going to tab the rhythm parts and repeats entirely because it would take too much time.
Intro
You basically need the two following chords here [Disortion]
(00:00-01:10 min)
e----------------------------|
B----------------------------|
G----------------------------|
D---11---10------------------|
A---11---10------------------|
E----9----8------------------|
At 00:51 min another guitar part kicks in [Disortion, Wah-Wah effect]
e--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--------5--5--5--5--------5--5--5--5--------5--5--------5--5--5--5--------5--5--5--5--------5--5--|

E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
First verse
The first chord is played several times before you go into the single note picking part
(01:12-1:34 min).
Play this two times.

slightly before the third fret and play the harmonic).

Guitar 1 [disortet;delay -> tapping part with wah-wah effect]
Guitar 2 [disortet;delay]
Guitar 3 [slightly disortet with a lot of reverb and delay]
So Guitar 3 basically plays the same part til the end of the bridge, this is also the part Brad plays
on the live version (so hard *cough*).
e--------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------|
G--------------------------------------|

D---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Third part
(Either you make the slides like me for the first notes, or use a whammy pedal with 1+ Octave,
but then you have to play it on another string).
e---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--/13--/15--/16--20--20--18--16h18p16--15--15----------15--16--18-18-18--15h16-15------------|

Straight from the solo you go into the tapping part with the following pattern:
e----------------------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------------------|
G--17--13--------------19--15-------------17--14-----------|
D----------15-(16x)------------15-(8x)------------15-(8x)--|
A----------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------|
Guitar 2 basically plays the stuff from the second chorus in the background until the
transition into the outro:
e--------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------------------|
G--12b-10-12b--12b-10-12b--/3----------------------------------|
D------------------------------5--5--3h5p3/-1--1--0--0---------|
A-------------------------------------------------------3------|
E----------------------------------------------------------1~--|
Finally the outro:
Guitar 1 [clean; delay+reverb]
Guitar 2 [disortion]
Guitar 2 plays the the same as in the first chorus, you will figure it out.
Guitar plays the following, kinda arabic sounding part.
e-----------------------------------------------|
B------5----5---5-6-5---------------------------|
G--5h6----6---6-------6-5--5-5--5h6p3--5~-(2x)--|
D-----------------------------------------------|
