"My interpretation of Rage Against The Machine's Song FREEDOM" Dropped D Tuning Riff 1 G---------------------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A-----5-------3-------5-5-----5-------3-------5------------------------------ D-------0-3-5---5-3-5-----0-3---0-3-5---5-3-5-------------------------------- (the ending of riff 1 is actually varied some--so ad lib at will!) Riff 1 Variant: (this is played instead of Riff 1 a few times--you can hear when to use it--just listen to the CD!) G---------------------------------------------------------------------------- D------------------------------------------------5-4-3----------------------- A-----5-------3-------5-5-----5-------3-------5--------5-4-3----------------- D-------0-3-5---5-3-5-----0-3---0-3-5---5-3-5-------------------------------- Then the next part goes like this. Riff 2 for a short while... G---------------------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------------------- D---0--0--R--0--0--R--0--0--R--0--0--R--0--0--R--0--0--R--0--0------------ Then it goes back to Riff 1, and Riff 2. This is followed by a short interlude where only the drums and bass are playing. After spoken: "Anger is a gift..." Riff 3 X a bunch G-----------------------------------| D-----------------------------------| A-----3-3-3-3-3-3-5--5-5-5-3-5------| D-----------------------------------| 4 TIMES G------------------------------------------------------| D*--------------5-3-5-3-5-----------------------------*| A*---5-3-5-3-5------------3-2-3-2-3-------------------*| D-------------------------------------5-3-5-3-5-3------| Do Riff 2 again. Last Riff: The guitar plays this part softly 4 times, then the bass joins in. The guitar gets distorted after a few times then. Be careful, this riff is played the same over and over for bass, but the song has a change in accent, thanks to the drums. x lots of times G-----------------------------------------| D*---------------------------------------*| A*-----------------0--3--4--5------------*| D--------3--5--6--------------------------| Oh...anyways. You get the jist of it. The riffs are there. Just feel the music. _________ "Any similarities between this transcription and the actual song is purely coincidental" +----------------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | ____ ____ | acanterb@vt.edu | | ( `--' .-' _T_T_T_T_ | ___ __ | | |8| O O |||||||||||||||||||[o o o o/ | / \ | | |\ /| | | \ / | | (__,--.____\ `~~~`--' | | ___ | | | \/ | |--+. \ / | | | \____| |___| | | |___| | | | Bassist for Division by Zero | | | | | Check out the Web Page! http://sfbox.vt.edu:10021/R/rconnell/band.html | | | +----------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
