Billy Badass tab by Get Your Guns

Guitar Tab

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 G and D strings, then play this

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

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

a-5-------7----8---3-------10---8---7---8--|

G2
d------------------------------------------|
a------------------------------------------|
d-8------10---12---7-------14--12--10--12--|

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

a-3/5----5---5-3----3--2------------------0------0-----------|-3/5-| ...

                                                              /\
                                                This is just how to transition to the
                                          beginning of the riff. let that low D ring
                                          as long as possible, preferably until you hit
                                          the F (low d-3)
