Rage Against The Machine
Sleep Now In The Fire
from The Battle Of Los Angeles

There have been a few interpretations of this. But, I watched the video (not
to mention listening to the song) religiously) and I'm pretty sure it goes
like this. This is my first attempt at tabbing, so be gentle wit me :)


Main riff:

E----------------------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------------------
G-------------5--------------------------5---------------------------5-------
D-7--7--5--7--------7-----7--7--7--5--7--------7-----7--7--7--5--7-------7--5
A-0--0--0--0--------0-----0--0--0--0--0--------0-----0--0--0--0--0-------0--0 
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------

E------------------------
B------------------------
G-7^---7^---5--7--5------
D-0----0----0--0--0--5--7
A--------------------0--0
E------------------------

I can't be sure about those last two notes, though.

Verse:

I think this is it:

E-----------------------
B---------------10------
G-----------------------
D-7-------------------7-
A-----------------------          (etc)
E-----------------------

let note ring

I've never used a Whammy pedal (i.e. I can't afford one) so I use my
pitchshifter, set 16 notes below. It doesn't sound *quite* like Tom,
but it's near enough.

I'm not sure, actually, if this is played or whether it is some kind of
funny trick he does withe the feedback. I get trouble getting the note
to sustain the way he does. Let me know if you've figured it.

Solo:

Unless you have the same guitar as Tom, this will be pretty difficult. He
puts his guitar right up to the amp and uses the toggle-switch effect on
the feedback, manipulating the sound with his tremolo arm. The feedback you
get from your guitar will probably be of a different pitch. Just experiment
with this. I find it best to use my tone bender to get the right pitch.

The Bit At The End:

This is a Korean radio station that Tom accidentally picked up with his
equipment. I've got no idea how he could have done this, but he did.

Enjoy!
