And yes, this is all my own work,
won't mommy be proud?
This song freakin' RULES! This is my first
effort at posting, sorry if it sucks. This
song has a special history, I figured it out
after a Tool show a few months back on an
acoustic in the parking lot. I was under the
influence of a certain 3 letter substance that
starts with L and ends with D, and when they
played this song it absolutely skullf%%ked me,
I'm still recovering! If you haven't yet,
GO TO A TOOL SHOW! Ok enough crap.
LEGEND:
/=slide up
p=pull off
h=hammer on
~=vibrato
b=bend
r=release
Dropped D Tuning
This song is best played as loud as your amp
will go, find a little closet or bathroom and
lock yourself in there and let it rip. It
sounds bad ass, plus it helps with feedback
and weird noises you gotta make. Oh yeah,
you'll have to listen to the cd for the timing,
cause I'm not about to mess with that.
Intro:
gradual volume increase
For this part strum sort of lightly, you're
just kind of dickin' around and building tension.

Adam uses some effect here,not sure what but it
sounds cool.. pinch harmonics come close. There's more
that I don't feel like tabbing, just noodle around the
same notes and you got it, or just make a bunch of
friggin noise.

Now for the part that makes you crap your pants.
This is where your amp volume needs to be at 10.
It's the same riff as the intro, but it gets real
ballsy with drum and bass locked in. Let 'er RIP!

Now the tricky part. You need
to smoothly transition from this riff:
E
B
G
D
A
D-2p0-2h3p2p0--------
to this one:
approx. 4:10
E---------------------------
B---------------------------
G---------------------------repeat
D---------------------------
A---------------------------
D-23202--23202--------------
Then at 5:00 theres a way tricky timing
change over 3 or 4 bars that I can't get
but when it comes out its this:
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
-2-2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2-2-----------------
Then it goes back over a couple of the
earlier riffs and some other stuff as
it starts to fade out that I don't
feel like tabbing out cause this is
getting tiresome.
It's easy stuff to figure out.
Outro: @6:28
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
-202320--202320--keep repeating-------
pick a little harder each time and for
the last one let your right palm hit the
strings to make harmonics. And that's it,
pretty much all there and (hopefully) accurate.
Feel free to e-mail me with corrections etc.
