Tool Jerk Off ~ Opiate This bass tab was taken off 2 live video bootlegs that I have. It IS correct. If you any doubt about playing the correct notes see Paul, he played it. The song is pretty forward altough i think my format leaves a lot to be desired. It is played with a bass pick in Dropped-D. If you want to buy or trade for videos I have e-mail me, most can be used for tabbing. Intro G-----------10/--------------12/------------| D-------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------| D-----12-----------12-----------------------| Paul changes this intro every time he plays it First Riff G------------------------------------------| D------------------------------------------| A-------7-----8--7-----7-----8^7-----------| D----7-----7--------7-----7-------8--------| Simple riff. You can bar the A and D strings with your index finger and use the middle finger for the 8s. The pull-off is important. Play it four times then lead into second riff..... Second Riff G-----------------------------------------| D-----------------------------------------| A-----------------------------------------| D----7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-8--------------| Hit it with the flat of the pick for a great sound. Play it twice and slide down to 12 fret to connect up to third riff.... Third Riff G-------------------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------| D---12--0--0--12--0--12--0--12---2/3--------------| After the last 12 you have to flow into the 2/3 otherwise it sounds shit. Sliding up the neck and back down works. Breakdown G------------------------------------------------------| D------------------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------------------| D---555555555555555/8888/3333/555555555555etc----------| Tremelo picking on the D string. Just follow the pattern 5, 8, 3, 5, ..... Fourth Riff G-------------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------| D----5--0--5--0--5--0--8--0--3--3--3--3-----| Self explantory. Play hard. Play four times. Slide to connect to next riff. ****At this stage go back to the first riff and play everything all the way through again...... When youire back here again, onto Fifth riff...... Fifth Riff G-----------------------------------------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------2-----3--2-----2-----3^2----| A-------7-----8--7-----7-----8^7----------------------------------------| D----7-----7--------7-----7-------8---2-----2---------2-----2-------3---| G-----------------------------------------------------------------| D-----------------------------------------------------------------| A-----------------------------------------------------------------| D----3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-6--| G-------------------------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------------------| A-----------------------------------------------1---3---| D----5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-6-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------| You get the hang of the timing. The last note (3) leads onto the next chords. Sixth Riff G----5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-8-7-----| D----5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-7-----| A----3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-6-5-----| D--------------------------------------------| Just down stroke chords. Repeat till the end of section. Last time thru you finish before 6.5.8 chord. ****Play Fourth Riff FOUR times then lead to Seventh Riff Seventh Riff G-----------------------------------| D-----------------------------------| A-----------------------------------| D----5--8--3--0--3/5-5/8------------| It looks easy but its a hard riff to get right. Play 8 times. ****Play Fourth Riff FOUR times. Then end riff. End Riff G----------------------------------------| D----------------------------------------| A----------------------------------------| D----5--0--5--0--5--0--5--5--5-----------| Any questions or comments email: Majikalmuffin@yahoo.com
