Psychosocial Chords & Tabs

Slipknot Chords & Tabs

Version: 8 Type: Tab

Psychosocial Tab

   
To go with the solo tab I submitted, I suggest learning the solo sperately from the rest 
the song. Again this is the most accurate tab I've found and I think people may benefit 
it. To achieve a similar sound I suggest the following settings, but you can 
change it to how you like.

Tuning: A, E, A, D, F#, B
Gain: 7
Bass: 10
Mid: 6
Treble: 7

Intro: The pinched harmonics are on the third fret because its possible to get a higher 
sound, if you find it diificult on the E string move it up to the a string.

Chorus: It may be useful to note here that the chorus is when they sing "Psychosocial". 
they sing the lyrics "And the rain will kill us all....(etc)" It is actually the pre-chorus.
