"Part of Me" by Tool Album - Opiate Transcribed by Michael Tokar (mtokar@bigpond.net.au) (also used a bit of Taylor's tab to get me started) This is a pretty straight forward song to play. Sounds excellent too, although not as good if you don't have Danny Carey using his double- kick pedal ;) Alot of bass comes into it too, so some parts are just the bass playing the riff without the guitar. X - mi*** p - pulloff pm - palm mute - slide down () - ghost note Dropped D tuning (DADGBE) Intro Big swell and feeback, followed by drum fill and this bass line leads into the guitar on the bottom string --5-5-5-4-4-4-2p0----------------------------------- Riff 1 ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------5-X-X-5------------------------------ --2-X-X-2-XXXX-5-X-X-5-XXXX-2-X-X-2-XXXX-5--4------- --2-X-X-2-XXXX-3-X-X-3-XXXX-2-X-X-2-XXXX-5--4------- --2-X-X-2-XXXX---------XXXX-2-X-X-2-XXXX-5--4--2p0-- Riff 2a ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- -6-5-0-3--6-5-0-3-3-3------------------------------- -6-5-0-3--6-5-0-3-3-3------------------------------- -6-5-0-3--6-5-0-3-3-3------------------------------- pm---- pm---- Riff 2b (prechorus) ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- -6-5-0-3--6-5-0-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------- -6-5-0-3--6-5-0-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------- -6-5-0-3--6-5-0-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------- pm---- pm---- Riff 3 ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- -------5-------5-----5------------------------------ -X-2-X-5-X-2-X-5-X-2-5------------------------------ -X-2-X-3-X-2-X-3-X-2-3------------------------------ -X-2-X---X-2-X---X-2-------------------------------- Riff 4 ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ----------------------6----------------------------- -6p5p0-8--6p5p0-8-6-5------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Riff 5 ---------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------12--------------- -9------9-11-9-9----9----------9-------------------- -9----9-----------9---9------9---9------------------ -7----------------------7--------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Riff 6 - I am uncertain if this is it, or if it is an octave lower (played similar to riff 2a) ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------(9)---------------------- -87-(7)-10--87-(7)-10-8-7-8----------------------- -87-(7)-10--87-(7)-10-8-7-6----------------------- -65-(5)--8--65-(5)--8-6-5------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Riff 1 x 2 Riff 2a x 4 Riff 3 x 1 Riff 2a x 2 (bass only) Riff 4 x 2 Riff 2a x 2 Riff 4 x 2 Riff 2b x 1 Bridge Riff (I don't know it exactly, alot of palm-muted D5 chords) Riff 1 x 2 Riff 5 x 1 Riff 2a x 6 Riff 3 x 1 Riff 2a x 6 (bass only) Riff 3 x 1 Riff 2a x 6 Riff 4 x 2 Riff 2a x 2 Riff 6 x 2 Riff 2a x 1 END Any comments or anything, email me!
