Song: Name of the Game
Artist: The Crystal Method
Album: Tweekend
Year:2001

Tuning: Dropped D

This is an awesome song by The Crystal Method, featuring Tom Morello.  Although
it seems at some points that there is not a bass line, there is one throughout 
most of the song playing along under the scratching and Tom's guitar. 

This sounds the best using a distortion pedal.  I personally use a Boss Bass 
Overdrive.  Any distortion will work, though.
Also, keep the tone at the lowest level possible.

MAIN RIFF
G:|----------------------
D:|----------------------
A:|----------------------
D:|--0-0-3-5-0--0-3-0-5--

VERSE RIFF
G:|----------------------
D:|----------------------
A:|----------------------
D:|--0-0-3/5-0--0-3-0-5--

The only difference between the main and the verse is the slide in the verse.  It is not always used, but if you listen to the song you can hear it.

That's it.  It goes like that throughout the whole song.  You can throw in random effects whereever you want to.  Wahs, Delays, and other pedals are all good.

Enjoy.
