"Sabotage" by The Beastie Boys
Tabbed by Paul Fivey P.Fivey@dundee.ac.uk
This is a correction to the tab which has been online for a while
but is unfortunately not quite correct.
I have used the existing file to create this one so this isn't an entirely
new tab.
N.B. Play with the roughest overdrive you can and try to strum it with a pick, muting
the A, D and G strings appropriatly and hammering on to the C# on the D string
when neccesary, this is how Adam Yauch plays it live.
For example:
G---X----X----11----
D---X----X----X-----
A---11---11---11----
E---X----X----X-----

If you have a live video of the Beastie Boys you'll know what
I'm talking about, but if not try to get one 'cause this is a fairly weird
thing to try to describe.
The main figure:
G---------11--------11------11------11------11--------------
D---------------------------------------------------------
A--/11-11---11-11-11---11-11---11-11---11-11---11-11-11-11--
E---------------------------------------------------------
The fill line:
G------------------4----
D--------------4--------
A---------4--6---6------
E----4--6---------------
That's about it, its a good tune and quite easy apart from the strumming technique
which takes ages to perfect.
