I never seem to see any metal tab in this group, so here is a Suicidal  
song I figured out last weekend.  I can't claim that it's  %100 accurate,  
but it's close. These 3 licks make up about %90 of the song.  The rest can  
be improvised.

"Pledge of Allegiance", By Suicidal Tendencies From album "How Will I  
Laugh..."
The 3 main licks

lick 1 the intro

Ahem.  *cough*

Chords with 'sus' in them have a different note, usually 2 or 4, suspended
in place of the 3rd that would ordinarily be present.  This makes the tonality
somewhat ambiguous, since the 3rd in a 3 or 4 voice chord determines its mode.

Asus4, then, uses the 4th scale degree of A (D) rather than the 3rd (C#).
You can finger it thus:
]-----]-----]-----]]x
]-----]-----]-----]]
]-----]--1--]-----]]
]-----]--2--]-----]]
]--3--]-----]-----]]
]-----]-----]-----]]

Asus2 or Asus9 would be the same thing, except with 2 instead of 4.  If you
play the above fingering, except with string #2 open (not fret 3), you get
Asus2.

Chords written with a slash, such as A/C# mean that you play the FIRST chord
(in this case A) with the SECOND note as the bass (lowest) note sounded (in
this case C#).  This is essentially an A chord in the 1st inversion--what we
theory geeks would call (6-3).

Hope this helps...
-Mike

I have always thought that the 'lead' and 'rythmn' distinction on guitarists
is silly.  Pete Townesend seemed to be always refered to as a 'rythmn'
guitarist, yet he can play very tasteful and technically good 'single' note
phrases (ok lead guitar parts).  Jimmy Page seems to have a reputation as
a 'lead' guitarist, yet he plays very good 'rythmn parts'.  I have
always been drawn to guitarists that can play both sides of the fence and
inbetween.  Some of the best 'rythmn' parts I have heard, were played by
guitarists that are acclaimed as lead guitarists.  The opposite is true also.

The guitar is a polyphonic instrument and should, IMHO be approached as such.
It seems to me that 'lead' and 'rythmn' are at the extreme ends of guitar
style: 
		rythmn => consistently playing > 3 notes at a time
		lead   => consistently playing 1 note at a time

In between 'lead' and 'rythmn' is where guitar style starts to approach
the same philosophy as that of the piano.  Examples of this approach would be
Chet Atkins, Lenny Breu, and Andres Segovia.  Of course there are many more.

There is nothing inherently wrong with being better at single note solos or
being better at playing chords (it happens).  But most of the guitarists
I admire play more than just 'lead' or 'rythmn'.  I feel that learning to play
the guitar polyphonicly from the start will add dimension to ones leads and
rythmns as well help break 'lead' and 'rythmn' lables.

play on,

Here, at long last, are the most commonly-asked questions on alt.guitar,
along with their answers:

Q  Where do I put my thumb?

A  The human body comes supplied with a plethora of orifices. Happily,
   the thumb can be easily inserted into many of them (though not, admittedly,
   at the same time, unless you invite some friends round to jam...).	   
   Some are a bit of a tight fit, and you might want to get an adult to help.
   In particular, the tear ducts can usually only be accessed with the aid
   of an electric drill (with masonry bit) followed by careful use of a rat-tailed
   file or similar to enlarge the resulting fledgling thumb-hole.


Q  What's a Lochrian Mode?

A  The noise an adenoidal Scotsman makes just before a thumping great big plane
   makes an emergency landing in his bidet.


Q  Has anybody got the TAB for Stairway?

A  No, but I could play it when I was 12, and Jimmy didn't even write it 'til
   he was 22! (Ahh, the old ones...)


Q  Why is the action on my guitar higher?

A  Your guitar gets more action than you because it is an inherantly sexy instrument.
   You, conversely, only score when the lights have been turned out and everybody
   else has gone home. Don't fret, though. Stick your neck out once in a while. Offer
   to truss up the object of your desires and you'll get a good rodding. 


Q  How do I stop my hands sweating so much when I play solo?

A  Use more KY jelly.


Q  What should I call my guitar?

A  1. Tammy
   2. Wayne
   3. Billy-Jim-Bob
   4. Big Mac and fries to go
   5. Is it time for my medication now?
   6. DunShreddin
   7. WidowMaker
   8. WindowMaker
   9. WindowCleaner
  10. I suppose a blow-job's out of the question?


Q  How do I let my public know I'm suffering for my art?

A  See first answer. The resulting tears will endear most audiences to you.
   If that fails to wow them, try a sweaty solo, but substitute deep heat
   for the KY jelly.


Have a good weekend

I would comapre the Fostex X-28 with the Tascam 424.  The X-26 has only

This may surprise you, but changing strings once a month is considered
quite normal.  Professionals usually change their strings at least once
a week in order to ensure a good sound.

I have often heard that if you boil old strings (yes, in a pan of boiling 
water in your kitchen) they will sound like new again.  I've never tried
it though, and I'm not convinced that a string which has already been 
twisted round a tuning peg would be easy to put back after boiling.

Organization: Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO  80523

More likely than any of that renaissance stuff, the popularity of "power chords"
became popular from Pete Townshend's playing with the Who. He used "power chords"
because tube amp distortion emphasized too many overtones for anything else to
be practical. He became the master of the technique where the rhythm of that form
of accompaniment is its most important element. Because no one seems to grasp
this any more, Pete Townshend believes that hardly any one understands how to
execute this technique properly in the way of providing more than just a driving
rhythm, a rhythm not only supportive of the music but interesting in itself.

For those interested in where Pete Townshend has gotten his influence in the
execution of this technique, please try listening to some Eddie Cochran,
particularly "Summertime Blues," "She's Something Else," and any other of his
Rock and Roll stuff. (His ballads aren't his best.) Also, interesting in the
way of Rock and Roll rhythm guitar, catch Chuck Berry's chess recordings.
Most guitarists nowadays don't have any feel for the rhythm subtleties of real
Rock and Roll guitar and could truly benefit from listening to Chuck Berry.

By the way, you might want to look at the tablature Vivaldi wrote. Call it a
hunch, but I don't think it's what you think it is. Really.

Well, I don't think Malmsteen's vibrato is exaggerated, he just utilizes a
classical vibrato... which is supposed to be a bit wider than most 'rock' or
other idioms... 
but for the real question... 

There is undoubtedly a PLAYING difference between the scalloped fretboard and
tall frets... the thing about the scalloped board is it allows you to add
subtle semi-tones at a faster speed than you can bending a string... 

I don't think that just because Malmsteen endorses it means it is only for
generous egos such as his. As a matter of fact I just weas reading today about
a number of blues players that use scalloped boards, and only one of them was
a big enough player that I had heard of... so it wasn'tfor their rich ego..
they liked the quality they could get by various finger pressures.. and it
sure isn't as hard as getting that by jamming the strings down on a normal
board!

(in much the same way I think Vai's 7-string is a good idea... or even an
eight string with one extra high so we could reach higher notes lower on the
board and one low so that we could interact with the bass plater... but I
thikn this despite the fact thata lot of people buy it because it is VAI'S
model...)
