So here's my pitiful "no effect" version. I substitute whatever effects Morello is using by just sliding. |------------------------//19--| |-----------------///----------| o--4-4-4-4--///----------------o o------------------------------o |------------------------------| |------------------------------| As far as I can tell, the bass is doing something like this |-------------------| |-------------------| |-------------------| |--(2)---2-0-2--4^--| when morello (guitar) stops playing and zack keeps going, the bass is doing this (~00:40) |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| |--(2)---2-0-2---2-0-2---2-0-2--| then at ~ 01:06 |-------------------------| |-------------------------| o--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--o o--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--o |--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--| |-------------------------| then this |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| o-------------------------------------| o-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |--0-2-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x--| |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------o |-----------------------------o |-----------------------------| |--0-2-0-(2)---(2)---2-5-(5)--| then |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------| o-------------------------------------------------o o-------------------------------------------------o |-------------------------------------------------| |--0-2-x-x-5-2-x-x-x-5--2--0-2-x-x-5-2-(0)---5-2--| then at ~03:27 (I've seen him do stuff like this before, if you're familiar with his style, you know how he's doing this. if not, just try picking as fast as you can...he he he) |--------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------| o--4-------------4------------4------------4-------------| o--------------------------------------------------------| |-----2-2-2-2-2-----2-2-2-2-2----2-2-2-2-2----2-2-2-2-2--| |--------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------| |-------------------| |--4-4-4-4----------o |----------5-5-5-5--o |-------------------| |-------------------| then after that (~03:39) |-----------19\\\\--| |--//////19---------| o-------------------o o-------------------o |-------------------| |-------------------| then at ~03:53 |---------| |--19\\\--| o---------o o---------o |---------| |---------| you can also hear morello playing variations of this in the background |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| o---------------------------------o o--7-7-7-------7-7-------7--------o |--------9-9-9-----9-9-9---9-9-9--| |---------------------------------| No new stuff from here on. I'd love for someone familiar with the effects morello's using to tab the intro riff correctly. questions, comments independence71@hotmail.com
