Artist: Tool
Album: Salival
Tabbed by: Joel Stillwell ([email protected])
Before any of ya’ll read this, I want you all to know this is my first
tab ever. I’ve been listening to Tool for forever, and I’ve been
playing bass for about a year and a half. *takes breath* Anyway, on
to the tab…
Tuning (low to high):DADG
Play with a pick, and use a lot of highs.
Intro: (Use some type of chorus all the way through. I read that
Justin uses a Boss pedal, but I don’t know which one. Listen to the song
for the rhythm.)
