artist: five pointe 0 title: king of the hill album: untitled transcribed by: brad manz (dystopia@mchsi.com) the tuning is dropped C style (C-G-C-F-A-D). this tab is 100% correct and complete. two things on this first part. two guitars play this intro, one plays the palm muted open chords, and the other plays the high notes. after playing through this two times, the second guitar begins to play the palm muted notes too, while at the same time the drums come in. but that's way more info than you cared to know. |-------------------------------------------------------|

the last 12 in this note ring a bit longer than the other ones. |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------|

|---3--0--2--0--0-1---| |---3--0--2--0--0-1---| |---3--0--2--0--0-1---| for the chorus both guitars play the same riff using the first three notes but guitar one hits the last note once then holds it while.. |-------------------------| |-------------------------| |---7----11-----5-----4---| |-------------------------| |---5-----9-----3-----2---| |-------------------------| ..guitar two goes up instead of down, and continues strumming the last note in the same fashion as the previous three notes. |-------------------------| |-------------------------| |---7----11-----5----12---| |-------------------------| |---5-----9-----3----10---| |-------------------------| chorus ends on this note, it's not muted. |-------(0)---| |-------(0)---| |-------(0)---| |---0---(0)---|

just keep hitting it. |---------| |---------| |---------| |------| |---------| |---------| the next few minutes is just repeating the chords already used above. here's when it changes. this open note is played slow from about [2:49] until about [3:03], then it just speeds up some while the second guitar plays what's below. you might notice that it sounds like this muted part is decending too, but it's not, it's sort of an ear trick. play along with the cd and you'll see what i'm talking about. |-------| |-------| |-------| |---0---| |---0---| |---0---| this part is sort of tricky to play. if you have too much trouble playing it this way, you could just leave the 6th fret on the F string out and just keep hitting the 7th fret on the C string after decending each time, it's much easier that way and it sounds about the same. |-------------------------------------| |------------------------------3------| |------------6--------6--------2------| |---7--------7--------7---------------|

|--------------------------------| |---55555---99999---1010101010---| |--------------------------------| this is played a couple times, sometimes they add the extra 10 note at the end, sometimes not..
