This is where my version takes over:
 
"Hear About it Later"
tabbed by Aaron Goldman

 
v = wide vibrato with bar
\ = dive with bar
. = palm muted
# = tremelo picked
 
after the clean-toned intro above, there are two guitars, both
distorted. the 
lead guitar plays:

 
E|-5---5--5--5--5------5---------------------

VERSE:
Lead guitar takes a break, while rhythm guitar plays:

(note: I'm not sure if the tap harmonics are really what he's doing, only
that 
he does something of that nature to raise the octave of those
notes. Personally,
I just play the notes normally)
 
*Rhy. Fig 2*

followed by Rhy. Fig 1, and then this:
 

                               Palm mute

And the lead guitar returns in this section, playing:
 

                            trem picking

*: in case it's unclear, you hold that bend as you tremelo pick the 19, 
and then you bend it even further while continuing to trem pick
 
GUITAR SOLO:
 
for a few bars, there is no guitar whatsoever as the drum and bass set 
up the mood or whatever. then, the lead guitar comes in with:
 

                     palm mute                               palm mute

BRIDGE: both guitars basically repeat what they did the previous bridge, 
and then rhythm plays:
 

   all palm muted

OUTRO CHORUS:
 
Rhythm guitar does nothing for a while, and lead plays the following:

 
E|-5---5--5--5--5------5---------------------
B|-8b--8b-8b-8b-8br-5-8b-5-7-5-7-5----------
G|------------------------5-7-5-7-5-5vv------

At this point, the rhythm guitar enters with Rhy. Fig 1 as the lead 
continues. I think the rhythm guitar eventually goes up an octave, 
but it's not that important.

 
E|-----20-------------------------------------------

now, the rhythm guitar plays:

 
E|-------2-2-2-2-2--------2-2-2-2-2--------2-2-2-2-/17-----
B|-------3-3-3-3-3--------3-3-3-3-3--------3-3-3-3-/17-----
