many people have already posted this...but looks close..


JESUSFReaK301 - 2006-05-01

yh. i did this a long time ago and i have no idea why. It's basically what every other tab 4 meant2 live says.

I have changed the riff a little though

D 4b(5r)--2--0--4--0----------------------------------------------
A -------------------4---0----------------------------------------
E --------------------------5/7b Hold Bend ------------------

It's the same, but i find it easier. If your playing with only two guitars and they both are in drop-D, just drop everything on the E up two frets so it's like this.

A -----------
D -------7/9b

I was surprised that this was put up. Any way, hope it helps

First of all . It's in drop D. And it's played like this.

E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------0-------------0--------------0---------------------------|
G|-----------4b------------4b-------------4b---------------------------|
D|--4--4--4------2--2--2-------2--2--2---------5--5--5--5----7--7--7--|
A|--4--4--4------2--2--2-------2--2--2---------5--5--5--5----7--7--7--|
D|--2--2--2------0--0--0-------2--2--2---------5--5--5--5----7--7--7--|

I'm sorry, i'm gonna disagree with you there. If you're gonna play it in drop-d then you need to play it like this:

D-4-4-4-4b5r4-2-2-2-4b5r4-2-2-2-4b5r4-5-5-7-7
A-2-2-2-------0-0-0-------2-2-2-------5-5-7-7
D-------------------------2-2-2-------5-5-7-7

or

D-9-9-9(or 4b5r4)-7-7-7-(4b5r4)2-2-2-(4b5r4)-5-5-7-7
A-9-9-9----9b10r9-7-7-7-9b10r9-2-2-2-9b10r9--5-5-7-7
D-9-9-9-----------7-7-7--------2-2-2---------5-5-7-7

It does not sound right if you play

D-4-4-4
A-4-4-4
D-2-2-2
