Ok! see the first fret at the end of you guitar? slide your finger from there all the way to the end of that string, over the fret board, over the pick ups, all the way to the end of the string at the body of the guitar. Now come back 3/4s of an inch on that string. That should put you right in the ball park. It takes a lot of messing with to get this song to sound exactly right.

It is track #1 from their latest album Evil Empire. This song is great when you crank the volume and get a feel for the music. I love it!!! All I have figured out is the opening riff but, hey ist's still something, right? Also, I haven't been playing for a long time, so I don't know if it is in any different tuning. I just do it in Standard E. I also don't know if any effects are used. All I can think of is distortion. Here it is. e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| b|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| g|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| d|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| a|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---7-8-7-8-7-5-----------7-8-7-8-7-5--------7-8-7-8-7-5---7-8-7-8-7-5-| I also picked up this way which is much easier. e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| b|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| g|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| d|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| a|--------2h3-2h3-2p0------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
