REPEAT VERSE AND CHORUS... 

THEN SOLO! (sorry but Tom Morello uses way to many 
effects on this song to really be able and acurratly transcribe this solo) 
USE THE SCALE OF E MAJOR AT THE 12th FRET BUT TRY TO USE THE WHOLE NECK 
remember that you can only use your low E string in this 
scale if you are in regular tuning!
