PEOPLE OF THE SUN - Rage Against The Machine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Basti95
Email: basti_dom@hotmail.it
Tuning: Standard
This is how I think it's played and I'm confident that it matches 100% to the videos of
Morello playing it.
This is a funny way of pick-scraping a tune, 1st you need to have your amp on or
you won't hear anything then read here...
IMPORTANT= Set your Tone toggle/control to closed(i.e.towards you). Simply use the side
of your pick to scrape the indicated string up and down above the fretboard to get the
effect. I tabbed this particular effect using the slide symbol before the notes, so to
get the right pitch you have to listen quite carefully and try it out a few times.
THE NOTES WITH A SLIDE SYMBOL (\) ARE THE RIGHT PITCH YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WITH THE PICK
(so there's no left hand involved in playing them), if you have any questions at all
contact my
e-mail address above!!!!
INTRO AND MAIN RIFF
e|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------| repeat until CHORUS
D|----------------------------------|
A|-\2/3\2/3\2------\2/3\2/3\2-------|
E|------------h5--------------h5----|
CHORUS with same pick-scrape (\ and /) + phaser
e|-------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------| Stop strings with palm
D|-------------------------------| at the end of each bar
A|-------------------------------|
E|-\1/3\1/3\1/3\1/3\1/3\1/3-1h3--|
repeat MAIN RIFF until
VERSE=
e|----------------|
B|----------------|
G|------------7---|
D|------------7---|
A|----/3\-----5---| -----only 1 note played w/ pick scrape
E|-5----h5--------|
repeat a few times, then return to the MAIN RIFF until the end.
TIPS: remember that the further you move from the fretboard when you're sliding the edge
the pick, the lower the note is...if you get everything right you can figure out how to
the pitch you want on each string.
It's pretty important that you have the tone toggle 'pointing toward you' or you might
hear scraping sounds and no pitch!
P.S. Always listen to the actual song for precise timing and number of repeats for each
these bars
ENJOY!
