ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
Words and music by John Deacon

Transcribed by Philipp (PraxisNothaft@t-online.de) 



About the sounds and other Info's:

  Guitar 1: Fat tube-distortion plays fills
  Guitar 2: The same as guitar 1
  Guitar 3: Clean funk sound, rhythm guitar
  Guitar 4: With a little bit of overdrive, a very dry sound. Plays the 
           same as the bass line and is palm muted throughout!
         "." means "staccato"
         x=muffled strings

On the record, all guitars are tuned one semitone up to F, Live it's 
played like here in Em.

Often used riff(Git.4)

There is an easier and less complicated way to do this, but not in a critical way.

jajman303 said July 07, 2005 at 15:21

not right.

This is the best Tab here. The others are fine, but the bass line is supposed to be higher for the
guitar like this one. It also has all the other guitar parts. This is a bit more complicated, but is
way more accurate.
