THE POT -- Tool
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Tony
Email: Eh, just leave a comment:-)
A quick note... I wont preface with "this is a first tab" cause it isnt. However, what I
say is that this tab is probably wrong. A bunch of the parts in it, to my knowledge,
correct. Im submitting it regardless of
error, however, because it might just be the starting ground better tabbers need to get
song down right, lol. Tabbing isnt quite my skill, so Id appreciate any comments on how
improve it. Feel free to take this tab and
make it your own and resubmit it so its better. This song is so cool too, isnt it?
Tuning: Drop D
Bass for the "Who are you to raise your finger" intro, until he says "You mustve been.."
Note: Alternatively, you can just play the second string 5th fret here although i think
sounds nicer this way. The end of verse bends have some distorted technique on them
includes a harmonic. Again, im bad at tabbing, see above, lol. When I say "that intro
or something akin to that, I mean this below minus the bend action at the end.
