Artist: Rage Against The Machine Title: Maria Album: The Battle Of Los Angeles (1999) http://www.geocities.com/rageslavetabs Intro: w/Whammy Pedal set to harmonize up one step This part is going to sound like two guitars with the harmony in place, shake your tremolo bar as you hit each note too, it adds for an eery effect. |--14-----14-----14-----14-----14-----14-----14-----14-----| |----------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------| Verse: Same as Intro Pre-Chorus: |------0--------| |------0--------| x4 |------0--------| |------0--------| Use your tremolo bar to dive down about 1/2 a step and slowly |------0--------| bring it back up. The dive is almost a pre-dive. |------0--------| "These are her mountains and skies and she radiates..."

I have a good idea of the notes, but I'm not sure about the Whammy Pedal usage and positioning and shit. So here's my best.
