   mostly clean tone with a wee hint of distortion

   play that clean stuff until he starts singing then do something like this
   (based off these chords A G C D A    A G C D A F G A- the guitar behind
   the verse has a really loose feel and kinda changes each time)

    CHORUS with heavy distortion

   into second verse, again the feel sorta changes, so listen to the song

   then...

   BREAK with heavy distortion and reverb

   then play verse again until end(he kinda mixes the clean tone intro stuff 
   into verse so listen closely)
