"Sabotage" by The Beastie Boys
Tabbed by Paul Fivey [email protected]
This is a correction to the tab which has been online for a while
but is unfortunately not quite correct.
I have used the existing file to create this one so this isn't an entirely
new tab.
N.B. Play with the roughest overdrive you can and try to strum it with a pick, muting
the A, D and G strings appropriatly and hammering on to the C# on the D string
when neccesary, this is how Adam Yauch plays it live.
For example:
G———X————X————11————
D———X————X————X—————
A———11———11———11————
E———X————X————X—————
If you have a live video of the Beastie Boys you'll know what
I'm talking about, but if not try to get one 'cause this is a fairly weird
thing to try to describe.
The main figure:
G—————————11————————11——————11——————11——————11——————————————
D—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A——/11—11———11—11—11———11—11———11—11———11—11———11—11—11—11——
E—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The fill line:
G——————————————————4————
D——————————————4————————
A—————————4——6———6——————
E————4——6———————————————
That's about it, its a good tune and quite easy apart from the strumming technique
which takes ages to perfect.
