Album: Battle of Los Angeles
Title: Calm Like a Bomb

tune low E down to A!!

/ = slide up
\ = slide down
()= let ring
^ = bend up

the intro riff is really hard to play, especially
for me since I don't have any affects at all for
my guitar.  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.
