Tuning: Drop D (DADG) Update (8-14-05): Yes, I know SOAD tunes to drop D a half step down on Mezmerize. These are the right notes, and I hate having to tune my bass further away from standard then necesarry. If you insist on doing exactly what Serj does for the sake of feeling cool, tune to C#,G#,C#,F#; then take every note here up one fret. Otherwise, just play it like it is here. Have fun. Rift 1 (:16) Listen for timing, these are also the notes for the speed picking part G|---------------- D|---------------- A|--2-0----------- D|2-----5-4-5-4-5- Verse (:32) G|------4p2------------ D|2-4-5-----4-5-4-5---- A|--------------------- D|--------------------- Listen for repeats, then: G|--------- D|--------- A|0/7/7- D|--------- Pre-Chorus (:50) G|-------- D|2---2--- A|--0---3- D|-------- Chorus (:58) These are the notes he plays, figure out the strum pattern and when to change notes from listening G|----- D|----- A|---0- D|2---- Bridge (2:34) Listen For Repeats: G|---------- D|---------- A|---------- D|2-2-2-2-0- Then G|---------- D|---------- A|0-0-0-0-0- D|---------- There you go. Listen to song for order.
