I Stay Away Guitar Tablature
Guitar 1 - a clean electric with a capo on the 5th fret
Guitar 2 - a distorted electric with dropped-D tuning (DADGBE)
Guitar 3 - just your average distorted guitar

It's possible to play the solo with the dropped D (just raise fretnumbers 
on low E-string by 2) and the verse-chords with a finger-barre, but I can't 
advise that.. Here goes..

Notation

XhY     - hammer on
XpY     - pull off
XbY     - bend at fret X to pitch of fret Y
XrY     - release bent note at pitch of fret X to pitch of fret Y
X~~     - vibrato 
(X)     - ghost note
X/Y XY - slides from X up/down to Y
(...)   - hold previous note
