song:Calm like a Bomb band:RATM tabbed by:Tim Flug For this song you will need a whammy pedal, wah-wah pedal and the right electronics. For the intro, set the neck pickup volume to 10 and the bridge pickup volume to 0. quickly switch the pickup selector switch back and forth. I mean we're talking quickley!Also you gotta gradually push down the whammy pedal. Listen to the song for the timing of the whammy. I also got a comment saying you tune the 6 string all the way down to an A. It does make sense once you do it so give it a shot. Intro (note above) also w/dist. 1--------------------------------------------------------------- 2---12-0-12-0-12-0-12-0-12-0-12-12-12-12-12-12------------------ 3--------------------------------------------------------------- 4--------------------------------------------------------------- 5--------------------------------------------------------------- 6--------------------------------------------------------------- this riff must be tremolo picked* intro (guitar 2) w/wah-wah 1------------------------------------------------- 2------------------------------------------------- 3------------------------------------------------- 4------------------------------------------------- 5-------------------------------------------------^=bend up 1 and a half 6---2---2-0-2-x-2^-x-x--x------------------------- step then back down. 1-------------------------------------------------------------------- 2-------------------------------------------------------------------- 3-------------------------------------------------------------------- 4-------------------------------------------------------------------- 5-------------------------------------------------------------------- 6---2---2-0-2-x-2-0-2-x-2-0-2---------------------------------------- bridge w/slight dist. and wah-wah as filter "And a riot throught the rhyme of the unheard" 1-------------------------------------------------------------------- 2-------------------------------------------------------------------- 3-------------------------------------------------------------------- 4-------------------------------------------------------------------- 5---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------------------ 6-------------------------------------------------------------------- Now use distortion 1-------------------------------------------------------------------- 2-------------------------------------------------------------------- 3-------------------------------------------------------------------- 4-------------------------------------------------------------------- 5---0-2-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-0-2-0-2--0--0--2--------------- 6---0-2-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-0-2-0-2--0--0--2--------------- Chorus (this riff is the coolest) 1-------------------------------------------------------------------- 2-------------------------------------------------------------------- 3-------------------------------------------------------------------- 4-------------------------------------------------------------------- 5---0-2-x----------x-x-x---------0-2-x------------------------------- 6---0-2-x--2-5--2--x-x-x--5---2--0-2-x-2-5--2--0----5--2------------- bridge to solo 1-------------------------------------------------------------------- 2---12-0-0-0-12-0-0-0-12-0-0-0-12-0-0-0-12-0-0-8-8-8----------------- 3-------------------------------------------------------------------- 4-------------------------------------------------------------------- 5-------------------------------------------------------------------- 6-------------------------------------------------------------------- solo w/delay set for 4 repeats 1-------------------------------------------------------------------- 2---12-8-(8)-(8)-(8)-(8)-12-8-(8)-(8)-(8)-(8)------------------------ 3-------------------------------------------------------------------- 4-------------------------------------------------------------------- 5-------------------------------------------------------------------- 6-------------------------------------------------------------------- Now gradually depress and release the whammy pedal listen for timing. 1------------------------- 2---12-0(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)--- 3------------------------- 4------------------------- 5------------------------- 6------------------------- repeat that many times.
