=========== ARTIST: System of a Down
SONG: The Metro
ALBUM: Dracula 2000 Soundtrack
TABBED BY: John Keogh ([email protected])
TUNING: Dropped-C (low to high: CGCFad)
Notes:
This is the first tab i’ve ever really formally submitted,
so grant me a bit of slack.. but on the whole, i think it
turned out relatively accurate. The only parts that i’m not
sure on are the verse and chorus… From the sound of the
song, it seems the guitar is just following the bass, so i
turned the bass notes into power chords. Daron Malakian does
a lot of little lead-ins, and fills, in this song, but most
of it is just palm muting and playing around with the given
notes.
Another thing, tuning your guitar down to Dropped-C is a
pain if your not fast at tuning, and a general waste of
time. The way I’ve been playing it, is in normal Dropped-D.
Dropped-C is obviously just Dropped-D a step lower, so play
it that way if your lazy, like me. hm.. i just realized I
wrote this while in normal tuning… i’m not about to go
back and figure it out, so do it yourself, or play it the
lazy way.
