Tuning (low to high): A E A D G B E
Dino tunes his guitar A D G C F A D, but I like to play this song in a Drop-A Tuning (so I don't have to detune all of my strings). There are no effects used in the song, just a HEAVY distorted guitar (maybe it's nice to use a Boss Metal Zone). You'll get the best sound if you boost up the bass and almost completely cut off the mid frequencies on your EQ; set the high on 4 out of 10. It's also very wise to use very heavy gauges (duh!!): Dino uses (low to high) 0.050;0.042;0.032;0.024;0.015;0.012;0.009; I use very heavy strings (low to high) 0.060;0.052;0.042;0.030;0.017;0.014;0.010 and I still think they're too floppy, so don't try to tune down your regular six-string with a set of 0.010's to this sound, IT WON'T WORK !!!!
You can also play this song on a six-string, cuz you don't need strings 1-4, so you don't have to buy a seven-string (altough seven-strings are lots of fun ;-)))
Anyway, have fun
