Use palm muting to get this guitar part to sound like the record. If you haven't heard it, there's also an earlier version of the song performed live by Ben Gibbard called "Casino Blues", which has a simpler but fuller right hand pattern. Most of this song is an open E chord shape -- slide it up to frets 6 and 7 to play the Amaj7 and then back.
