Tuning:
In the start of the song you can hear a bell like
sound. Try to recreate this with harmonics on the
12th fret of the high e-string.
(Kjartan uses a sort of device to make this sound)
Throughout the whole song the same chords go over
and over, except in the climax.
Play these chords for the basic progression:
E Dadd9 C#m7 Asus2
At first Jonsi, plays some harmonics over the 7th fret,
and all over the guitar (with his bow).
Just improvise like he does. The intro will
then be like this:
(on the low e-string, as usual)
|E-|-14-|-15-|-14-|-12-| two times
except the second time, it ends on a B note |-19-|
The timing is easy to catch, listening to the record.
