------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PEOPLE OF THE SUN - Rage Against The Machine ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Basti95 Email: basti_dom@hotmail.it Tuning: Standard This is how I think it's played and I'm confident that it matches 100% to the videos of Morello playing it. I consists of pick-scraping actual notes. Quite funny but it makes perfect sense when you get it right ;) READ HERE: (important) [AMP must be ON in order to get the effect.] Set your pickup selector to NECK(i.e.towards you). Simply use the side of your pick to scrape the string up and down over the pickups to get the right pitch and sound. What I tabbed are the corresponding NOTES---->i.e. the note that results from the pick-scrape. *You WILL have to try a little bit before getting the right pitch (it should be around the middle pickup)* THE NOTES WITH A SLIDE SYMBOL (\) ARE SCRAPED--THE OTHERS ARE HAMMERED ON OR PICKED (depends if you feel up to switching from scrape to normal picking) PLEASE RATE :D INTRO AND MAIN RIFF e|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| repeat until CHORUS D|----------------------------------| A|-\2/3\2/3\2------\2/3\2/3\2-------| E|------------h5--------------h5----| CHORUS with same pick-scrape (\ and /) + phaser e|-------------------------------| B|-------------------------------| G|-------------------------------| Stop strings with palm D|-------------------------------| at the end of each bar A|-------------------------------| E|-\1/3\1/3\1/3\1/3\1/3\1/3-1h3--| repeat MAIN RIFF until VERSE= e|----------------| B|----------------| G|------------7---| D|------------7---| A|----/3\-----5---| -----only 1 note played w/ pick scrape E|-5----h5--------| repeat a few times, then return to the MAIN RIFF until the end. P.S. Always listen to the actual song for precise timing and number of repeats for each of these bars ENJOY! ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
