version 2
Tuning: Standard
Bassline:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----4-4-2-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------0-0------5-5-4-0-0---------------------------------------------|
This plays through the first verse, then this plays:
Main Riff:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--6-6---9b------2-2---9b----6-6----9b-9/14-14-14-13--9-9------------------|
D|--6-6---9b------2-2---9b----6-6----9b-9/14-14-14-13--9-9------------------|
A|--4-4---7b------0-0---7b----4-4----7b-7/12-12-12-11--7-7------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I am not 100% sure about the 13/13/11 chord, but I could not find anything else that
really fit, so that is what I usually play. For the bending part, you can either just bend
the strings, or use a whammy bar. Either way works, but I suggest string-bending. You’ll
get closer to the sound on the album.
Next, it goes back to the bassline, but a guitar can be heard doing this:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----4-4-2-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------0-0------5-5-4b-0-0--------------------------------------------|
Light Solo:
e|------4-----4-----4-----4---5------0-----0-----0-----0--------------|
B|--------5-----5-----5---------5------0-----0-----0-----0------------|
G|----6-----6-----6-----6---6-----6------1-----1-----1-----1----------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then the bass does this:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------------------------------------------------------|
Solo:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------4h6-6-6-6b-6-------------------------------------------------------|
A|-4-4--7b-7--------------4-4-7b-7------7b 7-----------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------5-5-----------------------------------------|
This is repeated twice, with slight variation in timing. Mess around with these notes a
bit, and you should be fine. The ending of the second part of the solo goes out with
some crazy synthesized distortion. Cannot help you there, sorry.
Last Verse Riff:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-6-6--4-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-6-6--4----2-2--7-7--6b--2-2----------------------------------------------|
D|-4-4--2----2-2--7-7--6b--2-2----------------------------------------------|
A|-----------0-0--5-5--4b--0-0----------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The Light Solo repeats, but is louder with distortion, and then you just end with a
repeat of the main riff.
End with this:
