No Need To Be PARANOID, Phil's Safe

Phil's safe everyone, even though I posted this song a day late (I threatened to sue). FOR AWESOME REASONS. WHICH YOU WILL FIND OUT ABOUT LATER.

Anyways,

PARANOID

Easy up until the solo, hich even then deals strictly within the pentonic scales. I learned the first half from this thing I got for Christmas one year.

Other than that, this is what you'll be doing for most of the time:
B----------------------------------------------12-
G----------------------------12---------------12-
D-14------14------12------12---12-----14--12-
A-14-x8--14-x8--12-x8--10--12-----14------
E-12------12------10-----------10-----12------pm................................................................................

A Very Rare Occasion...

THUNDERSTRUCK

Hardest part? I dunno, the entire song alternated between easy and cool sounding with complicated and fast every other measure.

The intro riff is of course:
B-0-4p0-7p0-4p0-7p0-4p0-7p0-4p0-7p0 x2 (pull off 4, 7)

B-5p0-8p0-5p0-8p0-5p0-8p0-5p0-8p0 x2 (pull off 5, 8)

B-12p0-10p0-9p0-10p0-9p0-7p0-9p0-5p0-7p0-4p0-5p0-4p0-5p0-4p0-5p0-4p0- xAs necessary
(pull off 12, 10, 9, 10, 9, 7, 9, 5, 7, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4)

There's not really alot to say here technique wise. I still love this song.

Two changes to note:
1. Live version and recorded version (which I used the tabs for), have different solos.
2. RB2 and Track Pack version are different. RB2's version requires you to strum every other note in the intro, on the track pack the infamous opening is one long HOPO.

SETLIST UPDATED

Like Flies In The Vasoline

VASOLINE

Super-easy song. Only half the solo will mess you up. Most of the song:

E--1--3--

Repeat.

The chorus:
G--8---------7-6-5-----------
D--8-x16----7-6-5-x16------
A--6---------5-4-3----------

The solo Pt 1:
e---8p7---------
B---------6--6--
Repeat 8 times, finishing off with bend the 6th fret of the B string. It's easier if your index finger is already in position on the 6th fret of B.

Second part is disorienting, but doable:
G----4p0-4p0-4p0---------------
D--------------------5p0---------
A-------------------------2--2----

G---4p0-4p0-4p0----0-5b-----
D-------------------0-----------
A-------------------------------

Repeat twice.

Super Strokes

Steelers won the Super Bowl. I don't follow football, but it was really exciting to watch.

REPTILIA
Fuck this song, and fuck it hard. It was great, and the chorus part once I got it down flowed, but it was a long road. I guess AC/DC was right: It's a long way to the top if you want to Rock and Roll.

Here's the chorus which was not ripped off from another post:
e-7-------10-9-------9---7-----7-10-9-----12-9--
B---7--10------7-10--------8------------10--------

e--7----7-10-9---12-9-----------9--10-7-----9-
B----8----------10--------7--8-7------------7-----

And here's the solo (tab modified from here):
e-------------------------------10-9----------------------
B--12--12--10p9-----------------------10p9--------------
G---------------11p9-11---------------------11p9-11-----
D------------------------12---------------------------12--

e-12b13r12---10p9---------------12b13r12---10p9----------
B-------------------12p10--12-9---------------------12--10-

It works along a scale, so keep index finger on the 9th fret, and hover the pinky over the 12th fret. It would work best if you bridge the 9th fret of the e,B,and G strings with your index and pick of or pluck off whatever string you need. Otherwise at this speed, you'll waste extra energy moving back to the fret board and changing to the lower string.

One thing to note: in the video below, you'll note that the Rock band chart has chords where the GH3 chart has the main riff. Those chords are (799---) and (-799--) (sorry, it's late andI'm to excited to look up the names.

It's a pretty close race: RB charted the main riff a bit better, but GH3 had the breakdown before the chorus down.

SETLIST UPDATED

Toxicity is the DLC Reader's Choice song.

OM NOM NOM

Obama was elected President... Yay!

Right, so remember how yesterday I said how Say It Ain't So was really hard? Well, apparently I some kind of breakthrough, and managed to get the main riff. There's still a bit to go, but right now there are three key areas that give me trouble:
1. First Interlude
2. Second Interlude
3. Guitar Solo

Heh heh heh, that's going to be quite an update.

Now, on to Nine Inch Nails:

THE HAND THAT FEEDS

The only hard part about this is the "solo" that's really a synth, and even that isn't too hard:

D------------------------------10p0-10p0-12p0--
A--12p0-12p0-12-10p0-10p0--------------------
E---------------------------------------------------

D---------------------10p0-10p0-12p0-12p0-----------
A-10-12p0-12p0-12---------------------------13/12-13/-
E---------------------------------------------------------
