These Tabs are GOOOD

These are tabs for the Slipknot song: Sick (track 2 on self-titled). This is 
by far one of their best songs and changes very much. This would be my second 
tab after War? by SOAD. I am a sixteen year old who has only been playing guitar 
for less than a year so if these tabs are kinda wrong then SORRY. But these are 
very good compared to many others I have seen (just to gloat, I worked these out 
before I looked at any other tabs J).

I have divided it into parts rather than the usual Intro/Chorus/Verse style 
because the song changes so much.

Part1 (Intro)
Slightly palm muted…
G|-00---0-00---0-00---0-001---00---0-00---0-00---0-001-|
C|-00---0-00---0-00---0-001---00---0-00---0-00---0-001-|x2
                              ^Drums go mad here^

G|-00---0000---0000---00001---00---0000---0000---0-001-|
C|-00---0000---0000---00001---00---0000---0000---0-001-|x2

“Here comes the pain!”
Or as some wierdos like to think he says:
“Pick up the pace!” (badly wrong)

Part2
C|-2p1p001p00x2p1p001p00-|
G|-2p1p001p00x2p1p001p00-|
C|-2p1p001p00x2p1p001p00-|x4
To simulate the DJ here I do scratching with the plectrum at the same time if you 
know what I mean.

Part3
These are 1’s and 0’s not 10’s.
The timing always seems to go out slighty for me, it’s because of this 0 at the 
start here.
G|0---------------------------------------------------------|
C|0---1-0-0-1-0---1-0--1-004p300--1-0-0-1-0---1-0--1-004p300|
Pm…                       
In the actual song they don’t use the G string as well they get the second guitarist 
to join in, but if you’re playing on your own then this sounds ok.

Now for the cool bit!!!!!

Part5 (Bridge)
G|-4^---5^--x-7^|
C|---00---6^x---|x4
These all have pinch harmonics and vibrato.

The bit below is a little vague and has many effects but I’m doin’ ma best.

Guitar 1:
G|-0-430-10--6-6-6-6-6-|
C|-0-430-10--6-6-6-6-6-|x3
With wah effect on.

G|-0-430-10--4-4-4-4-4^|
C|-0-430-10--4-4-4-4-5^|
With wah effect on.

Guitar 2:
F|-7-777-77------------|
C|-7-777-77--6-6-6-6-6-|
G|-5-555-55--6-6-6-6-6-|
C|-----------6-6-6-6-6-|x3

F|-7-777-77------------|
C|-7-777-77--4-4-4-4-4^|
G|-5-555-55--4-4-4-4-4x|
C|-----------4-4-4-4-5^|
Now, on its own this will not sound anything like it. But if you use pinch 
harmonic strumming on different areas of the strings it will give it different 
tones, thus you get more of that wah effect, AND if you can scratch a little 
bit it will help sound like the DJ.

Part6
1s and 2s NOT 12s.
G|-0--0--0--0--0012--0--0--0--0--0012--0-|
C|-0--0--0--0--0012--0--0--0--0--0012--0-|x2

F|----------3-----|
C|-0--3--2--3-----|
G|-0--3--2--1002--|
C|-0--3--2---002--|x4
Palm-mute the zeros before the 2 chord.

1s and 2s NOT 12s.
G|-0--0--0--0--0012--0--0--0--0--0012--0-|
C|-0--0--0--0--0012--0--0--0--0--0012--0-|x2


Part7 (outro)
G|-5-2-0-2-1-0-5-2-0-2-1-0-5-2-0-00|
C|-5-2-0-2-1-0-5-2-0-2-1-0-5-2-0-00|x lots
Just keep going until the song ends. I’m just gonna take a wild guess and say 
that he does that part 32 times.
