Song: Suggestions
Band: System of a Down
Tabber: Nemesis_2509
Tuning: CGcF (SOAD only uses drop C, get that through ya'll's heads already)
All the tabs I've seen for this thus far have been wrong so I finally got tired
of seeing it and tabbed it out myself. I know this is right because I have a video
of SOAD playing this song live and you can see what Shavo is playing. That said,
enjoy.
Intro: Let guitar play for a little more than 11 seconds then come in.

End on a 14 on low C string
That's the whole song. The notes in the parentheses are optional if you dont
feel like sliding all the way up but they don't sound as good and that isn't the way
Shavo plays it so it's your choice. Oh yeah, and a thanx to Novicane for that
correction, i realized that was wrong like a week after i tabbed this i just never
got the time to change it, but now it should be right. Till next time.
System of a Down (also known by the acronym SOAD, or SoaD, and often shortened as System) is an Armenian-American rock band from Glendale, California, formed in 1993. It consists of Serj Tankian (lead vocals, keyboards, rhythm guitar), Daron Malakian (vocals, guitar), Shavo Odadjian (bass, background vocals) and John Dolmayan (drums). All four members are of Armenian descent, and are widely known for their outspoken views expressed in many of their songs confronting the Armenian Genocide of 1915 by the Ottoman Empire and the ongoing War on Terror by the US government. System of a Down is the only band to have two original number one albums released in the same calendar year. The bands Guns 'N' Roses, The Beatles, and rappers DMX and Tupak Shakur have had two number one albums in a year, but they released unoriginal content (e.g., greatest hits albums or anniversary editions of older albums) one at least one of those albums.
