Billy Badass by Get Your Guns

Tabs

This is what I've been able to make out from the song

I play it in Drop D, but I think they recorded the whole album a half step down


Start off with a slide up the neck playing the Chord diagramG+G and Chord diagramD MajorD strings, then play this

This was probably played with a slide, but it sounds fine just using your fingers

This is (close to) how the harmonization goes

Tor both these parts, palm mute and pick 16th notes/tremolo pick

This lead is played over the two previous parts...

e---13p10-12p10---------10-|  ---17p13-15p13---------13-|
b---------------12p10------|x4 ---------------15p14------|x4
g--------------------------|  --------------------------|

or you could play it like this if you don't like too much neck movement

e--------------------------|  ---17p13-15p13---------13-|
b---18p15-17p15---------15-|x4 ---------------15p14------|x4
g---------------15p13------|  --------------------------|


Bend on the Fs (low d-3) and Gs (low d-5), maybe throw in a pinch harmonic or two.
I think there's a few variations on this part, but this is the common idea

Now for the part that puts the BA in billy BA


Let it ring out, use low distortion
d-----0----0------0------0-3-0-----3--2-0------0-------------|-----|
a-3/5----5---5-3----3--2------------------0------0-----------|-3/5-| ...
d-------------------------------3-----------2------2--6-5-3b-|-0---|
                               /\
                        This is just how to transition to the
                     beginning of the riff. let that low Chord diagramD MajorD ring
                     as long as possible, preferably until you hit
                     the Chord diagramFF (low d-3)
