Title: Rocket
Artist: Smashing Pumpkins
Album: Siamese Dream
Tuning: E A D G
I used to play this on the D string but it gets a lot better tone on the A.
Riff 1
G|----------------------|
D|----------------------|
A|10--10--10-------8-9--|
E|------------8-10------|
Riff 1 is played Multiple times
Sometimes play this instead of Riff 1:
Alternate Riff 1
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|10--10--10-8-------|
E|-------------10-8--|
Riff 2 is the Build before the Chorus
Riff 2
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
A|10--10--10-------8-9-10--10--8-8------------------|
E|------------8-10-----------------8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--|
And after Riff 2 comes the Chorus part
Riff 3
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|10--10h12-10--10h12------------------8--8h10-8h10-8h10----------------|
E|--------------------10--10--10--10h12------------------8--8--8--8h10--|
Go back to Riff 1 and play in some more.
Play Riff 2 but instead of those 8's on A play 10's on E, then play the 8's on the E,
then play more 10's on the E.
Then there's this fill right before the chorus, play it right after a buch of D's (10th Fret on E):
Fill 1
G|-------------|
D|-------------|
A|------10-12--|
E|10-12--------|
Riff 4
G|---------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------|
A|5--5h7--5--5h7--------------3--3h5-3h5-3h5---------------|
E|---------------5--5--5--5h7----------------3--3--3--3h5--|
Play Riff 4 a few times then play Riff 3 some more. Then comes the solo.
Come back in with Riff 3, then slow way down, And do a climb from G to high G.
