#-------------------------------------------------------------------------# # "BLACK HOLE SUN" by Soundgarden # # From the 1994 album "SUPERUNKNOWN" # #-------------------------------------------------------------------------# This tab includes the solos so don't frett. The main solo sounds similar to one that's already posted but I found some minor differences. There are also rythm differences that will be obvious. Have fun playing it up to speed. Gtr I (D* A* D* G* B* E*) - Rythm 'Chris Cornell' Gtr II (D* A* D* G* B* E*) - Lead 'Kim Thayil' Gtr III (D* A* D* G* B* E*) - Solo 'Kim Thayil' (pre-recorded) *All are half a semitone sharp Track 07 Length: 5:18 Intro 0:00 Gtr I (Let all notes ring) Gsus4 (3x0013@1) F (133211@1) Eme*|-------------------|------------------|-------------------|------------------| (022000@1)B*|-------------------|------------------|-------------------|------------------| G*|----------5--------|-------------5----|----------5--------|-------------4----| D*|-------5------5----|----------5-------|-------3------3----|----------2-------| A*|----5------------5-|-------5----------|----3------------3-|-------2----------| D*|-5-----------------|-5--8-------------|-3-----------------|-0--2-------------| Gtr II w/ Rotor Pick (tremelo pick w/ echo to improv.) e*|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B*|------------------12s15==========h17s==10(10)b11=r108=====================/=| G*|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| D*|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A*|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| D*|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gtr I Dsus4# D7e*|---------------------|------------------|------------------------------------| (xx0212@1)B*|---------------------|------------------|------------------------------------| G*|-------------1-------|-------------2----|------------------------------------| D*|----------1-----1----|----------0-------|------------------------------------| A*|-------1-----------1-|-------3----------|------------------------------------| D*|-0--1----------------|-1--0-------------|------------------------------------| Gtr II (Hold D note and let rotor run 4 seconds into verse then slide down and off) e*|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B*|-11================s==15=====================================================| G*|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| D*|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A*|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| D*|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Verse 0:16 Gtr I w/ Leslie Effect (similar to chorus effect) G/Em Gm (355333@1) F (133211@1) G/Em e*|----------12---------------------10---|---------13------------------------12----| B*|o-----12------12----12-------11-------|-----13------13----13----------12--------| G*|--12-------------12------12-----------|-10-------------10------10/12------------| D*|--------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------| A*|o-------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------| D*|--------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------| In my eyes, in this pose, in disguises no-one knows...
