^ This is actually played by a 2nd

guitar doing the top part of riff

3... but with some practice, it

can sound pretty good with just

one guitar

happiness in slavery:

distorted synth & drum sounds here...

(:32) Main bass riff (I think, someone help me with this):

G------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A--------------------------1---------------------------------------------|
E--0--1-1-1--4---0--1h2p1-----2------------------------------------------|

^slide down

(:48) Guitar riff 1:

E--------------------------|

G------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A--3--3--3--4--4--5--5--5--6--6--6--7--7--8--8---------------------------|
E--1--1--1--2--2--3--3--3--4--4--4--5--5--6--6---------------------------|

muted, first time thru pick only E string, the rest pick chords.

then bass line for a couple of chorus: (don't open your eyes...)

(1:52) Guitar riff 3

smoothly:

E--------------------------|
B--------------------------|

G------------------5^------| -micro-bend up 1/2 fret or so to give

D---3h4p3---3h4p3----4-----|   the right sound.
A--------------------------|
E--------------------------|

(3:11) harmonics in the bass riff:

(3:28) back to riff 1.

1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and

E---------------------------|--------------------------|
B---------------------------|-----------9--------------|
G---------------------------|--7-----7-----------------|
D---9--9--9--10-10-10-10-10-|--X--10-X--X--X--X--X--X--|
A---7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|
E---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|

The "X" signifies the muting/dampening of the string.

Suggestions: play the 7 on A with your index finger. Play the 9 on D with

your 4th (out of 5) finger. Play the 10 on D with your pinky. Play the 7 on

G with your 3rd finger and leave it there - don't lift it for the remainder

of the measure. Play the 10 on A with the 4th, play the 9 on B also with

the 4th and hold it there to ring out for the rest of the measure.

Keep the E and A string as a steady drone.

1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and

E---------------------------|--------------------------|

G---------------------------|-----------------7--------|
D---9--9--9--10-10-10-10-10-|--7--7--7--6-----6--------|
A---7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|
E---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|

Play all 4 measures over and over, etc...

Suggestions: same fingering for the third measure as the first. I

find it easiest to play the 7-7 in the fourth measure with my 3rd and

4th fingers. Then when I hit the 6 on D, I can use my index finger

without lifting my third finger up. Let the first 6 on D ring for

that extra eighth note. Let the 7 on G ring for the remainder of the

measure.
