GUITAR SOLO

Tom Morellos own exact words
"For the guitar solo section, I got right up close to the amp to get some feedback
and, working the whammy bar with my left hand, I flicked the toggle switch from the
"off" to the "on" position in the rhythm you hear.In order t achieve this toggle
switch effect, you'll need a guitar with two pickups, each with its own volume
control.  On my guitar, I turn the volume control for the neck pickup all the
way down to zero (or "off"), and I turn the volume control for the bridge pickup
up full.  This way, when I flick the toggle switch from the neck to the bridge
pickup, I am essentially turning the guitar sound from the "off" to the "on"
position, then manipulating the pitch with the tremolo bar to make it sound like
a whistle, or an angry flute.  With that particular guitar, I always get the
same feedback note when I get right up next to the amp, so it's very reliable"
that was tom morello explaining the solo.
Now instead of having morellos wiring like in his guitar for his killswitch
you can just get a regular killswitch insatlled into your guitar.(does basiclly
the same thing).Toms is wired kind of like a les paul.2 volumes for each pick
up turn one to 0 the other to 10 and its a killswitch,his i think is only a 2 way
switch unlike les pauls that are 3 ways usally.

now just play this untill the end and thats it.
then the radio thing toms morellos word again


It sounds like there's a transistor radio mixed in at the end of the song, and
that's exactly what it is.  When I was doing overdubs, I was playing my
solid-body Ovation Breadwinner guitar through a MusicMan amp, while using an old,
vintage distortion pedal called a Tone Bender.  The Tone Bender has a warm,
broken-up distortion sound that goes perfectly with the track.  I first got turned
on to Tone Benders when we were working on Evil Empire with producer Brendan O'Brien,
who also produced our new album.   I found that when I turned on the pedal but
didn't play anything, I picked up a crystal-clear signal from a Korean radio station.
In earlier mixes of "Sleep Now in the Fire," that radio thing was featured more
prominently.  We had the radio signal running through the entire song.  It was a
little annoying, so we decided just to stick it at the very end.  I always like to
say that there are no samples on any of our records, and this is a good example.
That radio signal is no sample - it was played!

Final bend can just be single string bends if your lazy, but it doesn't sound as good.

I got this from watching a live performance. Play this clean.
