"Ashes in The Fall" by Rage Against The Machine from the albulm The Battle of Los Angeles Music by: TIM.COM, Zack de la Rocha, Tom Morello, Brad Wilk Lyrics by Zack de la Rocha song ©1999 Sony/ATV Songs LLC and Retribution Music Tabbed 100% By Chris Albert chrisa15@hotmail.com i'm just gonna tab the basics... if anyone can help me with the part that plays during "aint it funny how the factory doors close..." i would appreciate it
the intro is played in a scratchy, highly distorted tone NOTE: the real scratchy raking kind of sound comes from scraping the pick sideways across the string...or if it doesn't, then doing that makes it sound similar to the song at least...what i mean is: hold the pick almost perpendicular to the string and pull it across kind of like violinist uses a bow...i dont know how to describe it really..it helps if the pick is scratched on the edges..maybe one of those textured picks would do the trick, i haven't tried it INTRO: play each part twice *r=let note ring e-18-------18-------18r|--19------19-------19r| B----16-16----16-16----|----16-16----16-16----| G----------------------|----------------------| D----------------------|----------------------| A----------------------|----------------------| E----------------------|----------------------| e-21-------21-------21r|--18-------18------18r| B----16-16----16-16----|-----16-16----16-16---| G----------------------|----------------------| D----------------------|----------------------| A----------------------|----------------------| E----------------------|----------------------| VERSE: using a slide and delay e--21r_________----19r___________----- foreground e-----\\\\\\\12-------\\\\\\\\\12----- background (delay............(delay.........))
