Mike uses a baritone guitar.  For those who don't know what
that is,  it means the six lowest strings on a seven string
guitar  is  put on a six string guitar. Just like Aaron and 
Jhonny,  he also tunes his strings a half step down  making 
the tuning (from low to high) Ab Db Ab Db Gb Bb.
Aaron uses  an  acoustic guitar in standard Eb tuning.  Low 
to high Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb.
Note that  in  this  transcription  I've  written the chord 
names after  their  sounding, not fingering  (Like  if  you 
finger an E chord, it will sound as Eb when tuned down).

   A friend tells me that the verse picking goes like this :
       G#sus4              B

Bb|-------------8--7----------------7--8-------------------|
Gb|-------7------------------------------------------------|
Db|------------------------5--5--5-------------------------|

Db|----7-----7---------------------------------------------|
Ab|--------------------------------------------------------|

       F#                  G#7sus4
                                        P

Db|----------4-----4--0----------5----------5--------------|
Ab|----5----------------------7-----7----------7-----------|
Db|----5-------------------7-------------------------------|
Ab|--------------------------------------------------------|

I don't know if he's right.  I can hear those notes  on  the
7th  and  8th frets, but  it  might  be  a  synth or another
guitar. Play what you think sounds better.
