Artist: Rage Against The Machine Title: Ashes In The Fall Album: The Battle Of Los Angeles (1999) http://www.geocities.com/rageslavetabs Drop-D tuning: (low to high) D-A-D-G-B-E Intro: w/Toggle switch & *DigiTech Whammy Pedal |-5-----5-----5----5-----5-----5----6-----6-----6-----6------6-----6---- |----------------------------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------------------------- |---5-5---5-5--------5-5---5-5--------5-5---5-5---------5--5---5-5------ |----------------------------------------------------------------------- -8-----8-----8----8-----8-----8----6-----6-----6-----6------6-----6----| -----------------------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------| ---5-5---5-5--------5-5---5-5--------5-5---5-5---------5--5---5-5------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------| *set to harmonize TWO octaves higher Verse: w/Delay |--10-------------8-------------| |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| For this part you have to slowly release the whammy pedal on each note. With the delay in place it will give that "Ashes in the fall" effect. Chorus: w/Toggle switch Not sure what's being used to get that tone |--0---------0----------0----------0----------| |--0---------0----------0----------0----------| |--0---------0----------0----------0----------| |--2---------2----------2----------2----------| |--3---------3----------3----------3----------| |---------------------------------------------| "This is the new sound, just like the old sound..." Interlude: [2:17] w/Intro riff [2:45] For this part it's basically just the low D powerchord and the F powerchord played, with random harmonics and whammy setting in between. See the powertab for a better transcription. w/slight Wah |----------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------| x2 |----------------------------------------------------------| |--0-------------3--------------0-----------3--------------| |--0-------------3--------------0-----------3--------------| |--0-------------3--------------0-----------3--------------| Now for the best riff of the song... |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| x4 |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |--7------7-----7---7-----7-----7---3-----3-----3---3-----3-----3---| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |----0-0----0-0-------0-0---0-0-------0-0---0-0-------0-0---0-0-----| Again with random harmonics and whammy settings 2nd Interlude: |--2------------2-----------2----------2------------| |------3-----------3-----------3----------3---------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| "Ashes in the fall, like, ashes in the fall" Outro: One of my all time favourite RATM moments... All I can tell you is it has a hell of lot of delay and whammy pedal use, that's all I know...
