Sic1 by Slipknot

Tabs

Supermot or Lenny Corbett wrote these tabs!!!
These Tabs are GOOOD

These are tabs for the Slipknot song: Sick (track 2 on self-titled). This is
by far one of their best songs and changes very much. This would be my second
tab after War? by SOAD. I am a sixteen year old who has only been playing guitar
for less than a year so if these tabs are kinda wrong then SORRY. But these are
very good compared to many others I have seen (just to gloat, I worked these out
before I looked at any other tabs J).

I have divided it into parts rather than the usual Intro/Chorus/Verse style
because the song changes so much.

Part1 (Intro)
Slightly palm muted…
Chord diagramG+G|-00---0-00---0-00---0-001---00---0-00---0-00---0-001-|
Chord diagramC majorC|-00---0-00---0-00---0-001---00---0-00---0-00---0-001-|x2
               ^Drums go mad here^

Chord diagramG+G|-00---0000---0000---00001---00---0000---0000---0-001-|
Chord diagramC majorC|-00---0000---0000---00001---00---0000---0000---0-001-|x2

“Here comes the pain!”
Or as some wierdos like to think he says:
“Pick up the pace!” (badly wrong)

Part2
Chord diagramC majorC|-2p1p001p00x2p1p001p00-|
Chord diagramG+G|-2p1p001p00x2p1p001p00-|
Chord diagramC majorC|-2p1p001p00x2p1p001p00-|x4
To simulate the DJ here I do scratching with the plectrum at the same time if you
know what I mean.

Part3
These are 1’s and 0’s not 10’s.
The timing always seems to go out slighty for me, it’s because of this 0 at the
start here.
Chord diagramG+G|0---------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramC majorC|0---1-0-0-1-0---1-0--1-004p300--1-0-0-1-0---1-0--1-004p300|
Pm…
In the actual song they don’t use the Chord diagramG+G string as well they get the second guitarist
to join in, but if you’re playing on your own then this sounds ok.

Stops for drums…

Now for the cool bit!!!!!

Part5 (Bridge)
Chord diagramG+G|-4^---5^--x-7^|
Chord diagramC majorC|---00---6^x---|x4
These all have pinch harmonics and vibrato.

The bit below is a little vague and has many effects but I’m doin’ ma best.

Guitar 1:
Chord diagramG+G|-0-430-10--6-6-6-6-6-|
Chord diagramC majorC|-0-430-10--6-6-6-6-6-|x3
With wah effect on.

Chord diagramG+G|-0-430-10--4-4-4-4-4^|
Chord diagramC majorC|-0-430-10--4-4-4-4-5^|
With wah effect on.

Guitar 2:
Chord diagramFF|-7-777-77------------|
Chord diagramC majorC|-7-777-77--6-6-6-6-6-|
Chord diagramG+G|-5-555-55--6-6-6-6-6-|
Chord diagramC majorC|-----------6-6-6-6-6-|x3

Chord diagramFF|-7-777-77------------|
Chord diagramC majorC|-7-777-77--4-4-4-4-4^|
Chord diagramG+G|-5-555-55--4-4-4-4-4x|
Chord diagramC majorC|-----------4-4-4-4-5^|
Now, on its own this will not sound anything like it. But if you use pinch
harmonic strumming on different areas of the strings it will give it different
tones, thus you get more of that wah effect, AND if you can scratch a little
bit it will help sound like the DJ.

Part6
1s and 2s NOT 12s.
Chord diagramG+G|-0--0--0--0--0012--0--0--0--0--0012--0-|
Chord diagramC majorC|-0--0--0--0--0012--0--0--0--0--0012--0-|x2

Chord diagramFF|----------3-----|
Chord diagramC majorC|-0--3--2--3-----|
Chord diagramG+G|-0--3--2--1002--|
Chord diagramC majorC|-0--3--2---002--|x4
Palm-mute the zeros before the 2 chord.

1s and 2s NOT 12s.
Chord diagramG+G|-0--0--0--0--0012--0--0--0--0--0012--0-|
Chord diagramC majorC|-0--0--0--0--0012--0--0--0--0--0012--0-|x2


Part7 (outro)
Chord diagramG+G|-5-2-0-2-1-0-5-2-0-2-1-0-5-2-0-00|
Chord diagramC majorC|-5-2-0-2-1-0-5-2-0-2-1-0-5-2-0-00|x lots
Just keep going until the song ends. I’m just gonna take a wild guess and say
that he does that part 32 times.
