Then it goes back to Riff 2. The end of the song goes: Play this softly with no distortion. (Normally played by bass) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------3--4--5------------------------------------------------- -----0--3--5--6--7---------------------------------------------------------- Next, with heavy distortion: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------5--6--7------------------------------------------------- -----0--3--5--6--7--3--4--5------------------------------------------------- -----0--3--5--6--7---------------------------------------------------------- This is a great song to play because of all the changes in it. Enjoy! Greg Bundy FREEDOM. RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE PICKED OUT AND WRITTEN DOWN BY: MARTIN WIKSTROM, SUNDSVALL, SWEDEN Ok here is my try on Freedom. First detune your E string to D. DADGBe. Note! When I picked this out I used my acoustic guitar (since I dont have a electric anymore) so there might be some mistakes but who cares ? p= Pull off h= Hammer on b= Bend one full step.

Bye ! the riff after (spoken) "anger is gift" ----------------------------------------- on the album version there may be used several overdubbed guitar tracks. this is how i play that riff, because in fact, i can only play one guitar at a time ;-) don't know if it's right, but in my opinions it sounds amazing! just try! ilja iRose@gmx.de 4x -------------------------------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------- ---3-3-3-3-X-5--5s3p0-3-5------- -------------------------------- 4x -------------------------------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------- ---2-2-2-2-X-4--4s2---2-4------- ---3-3-3-3-X-5--5s3p0-3-5------- -------------------------------- 3x -------------------------------- -------------------------------- ---5-5-5-5-X-7--7s5---5-7------- ---2-2-2-2-X-4--4s2---2-4------- ---3-3-3-3-X-5--5s3p0-3-5------- -------------------------------- 4th time: -------------------------------- -------------------------------- ---5-5-5-5-X-7------------------ ---2-2-2-2-X-4------------------ ---3-3-3-3-X-5------------------ -------------------------------- let ring -> to solo
