------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE BLACKBOARD - Riot Act ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:The Animal Another catchy tune by Riot Act. The fast drum beat gives it that foot tapping quality. Mike plays this one with a little more distortion than usual to give it more treble, letting the notes scream a little more. Tuning:eBGDAE Riff A (x02220@1)( played as the intro and in between verses) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------7-9-7------------------------------------------------------------| D|-9-9-7-9--7-9-7-7-0--7-7-5-7--5-5-0-2--------------------------------------| A|-7-7-7-7--------7-0--5-5-5-5--3-3-0-0--------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Verses Riff B(play (x2444x@1)2x) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-9--------------------7-------------------5-5-5-2-2-2-2--------------------| D|-9-(strum for 2 bars)-7-(strum for 1 bar)-5-5-5-2-2-2-2--------------------| A|-7--------------------5-------------------3-3-3-0-0-0-0--------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Chorus Riff 1( play 3x then play chorus riff 2 once) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-7-7-7-7-7-----------------5-5-5-5-5---------------------------------------| D|-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5------------------------| A|-5-5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5------------------------| E|------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------| Chorus Riff 2 e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-7-7-7-7-7-----------------5-5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----------------------| D|-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----------------------| A|-5-5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------------| E|------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------------------------------------------| Solo e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-0-4-5-7h5p4h5p4-7h5p4h5p4-7h5p4h5p4-7h5p4h5p4-7h5p4h5p4-7h5p4h5p4-7-------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-0-2-3-5h3p2h3p2-5h3p2h3p2-5h3p2h3p2-5h3p2h3p2-5h3p2h3p2-5h3p2h3p2-5-------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------3h5p3-7-7-5--------| B|-------------------------------------------------3h4p3h5-----------7-6-5-3-| G|--------------------------------3h5p3-----3h5p3h5-------------------------5| D|-----------5h7p5-----------3h5p3-----3h5p3---------------------------------| A|------5h7p5-----5h7p5-3h5p3------------------------------------------------| E|-5h7p5---------------------------------------------------------------------| Backup for solo e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-9-9-7-9--9-9-7-9--7-7-5-7--5-5-5-2----------------------------------------| A|-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5--3-3-3-0----------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| That's the song.Here is the order= Riff A 2x Verses Riff B 2x Riff A 2x Verses Riff B 2x Chorus Riff 1 3x Chorus Riff 2 1x Riff A 2x Solo(with backup playing) Riff A 2x Verses Riff B 2x Riff A 2x Verses Riff B 2x Chorus Riff 1 3x Chorus Riff 2 1x Chorus Riff 1 3x Chorus Riff 2 1x Riff A 1x | / slide up | slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
