Song: RUSTY CAGE Artist: SOUNDGARDEN Album: BADMOTORFINGER -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com Standard tuning Comments: The bass maimly mirrors the guitar riffs here with a few slight variations. Most of this tune seems to shift between straight and odd time but I'm not sure. Sometimes I have trouble finding the "1". But that's Soundgarden for you. Play this with a pick for that growling and biting sound. The bends are all just shy of a half-step. I haven?t bothered writing out the exact number of times that Rhy. Fig 2 is played during the verse. Just play it a lot. You?ll feel when things head to the next riff. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) Tp = Tap w\plectrum Rhythm Fig. 1 G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--0h2-2h4-0h2-0--0h2----------------------| E|------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2 G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--2-2-2--2--0h2-2h4-0h2-0--0h2------------| E|------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3 G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--2-2-2--2--0h2-5--5--2-----0-----------8-| E|-------------------------0----------------| G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|----7-7-5\-2--5--5------------------------| E|------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4 G|------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------0-2--3----------| A|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------| E|------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------| D|---4-0-------------------0-2--3-----------| A|-------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------------| E|------------------------------------------| < - - - - - - 2x - - - - - - - > Rhythm Fig. 5 G|------------------------------------------| D|---4-0-------------------0-2--3--4-0------| A|-------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-------------2----| E|------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 6 G|------------------------------------------| D|-----------0-2--3--4--------2-0-2--2-0----| A|--2------------------0--------------------| E|------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------0-2--3----------| A|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------| E|------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------| D|---4-0-------------------0-2--3--4-0------| A|-------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-------------2----| E|------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 7 G|------------------------------------------| D|-----------0-2--3--4--------2-0-2--2-0----| A|--2------------------0--------------------| E|------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------0-2--3----------| A|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------| E|------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-5-0-5--2--------| E|------------------------------------0-----| G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--0--------------8----7-7-5\-2--5--5------| E|------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 8 G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--------5b^----------7b^---------5--------| E|--7------------7------------7---------7---| G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--5-----------5----------------5----------| E|-------5-------------7------7-------7--5--| Rhythm Fig. 9 G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--------5b^----------7b^---------5--------| E|--7------------7------------7---------7---| G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--5-----------5----------------5----------| E|-------5-------------7------7-------7--7--| G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--5-----5---------------------------------| E|-----7-------7----0/----5-----------------| [Guitar intro] [Rhy.
