Tab for Sweat [#128] Transcribed by Jonathan Z. Gehman (jzg1@cornell.edu) Added to t.d.n: January 15 1997 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================== SWEAT by TOOL- OPIATE track #1 =============================== I first transcribed this song almost a year ago. Since then a new version of the tab has been posted and my guitar abilities have improved greatly. In light of these two developments (along with the fact that my first tab sucked and the additional tab still had errors in it) I sat down and re-did the tab. So, here is a hybrid of my original SWEAT tab and the one submitted by Michael Gonsalves (gonsalve@winnie.fit.edu): thanks for your insights KEY: ________________________ | | | X = blocking | | x = palm muting | | / = slide | | p = pull off | | h = hammer on | | | | |----| | | |.--.| | | |.--.| means repeat | | |----| | |________________________| The riffs are in the same order they occur in the song: INTRO ----- E|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--| A|--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--| D|--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--| E|------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------3--| G|---------------------------------------------------------------2--| D|--1--0--1--3--4--3-----1------1-1-1-1------1-0------1-0-0------0--| A|--1--0--1--3--4--3--0--1------1-1-1-1------1-0------1-0-0------0--| D|--1--0--1--3--4--3--0--1------1-1-1-1------1-0------1-0-0------0--| sustain MAIN RIFF --------- E|------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------| D|--2----------2-----------2----------2-----------| A|--2----1p0---2----3p0----2----1p0---2----3p0----| D|--2--0-1p0-2-2--0-3p0-2--2--0-1p0-0-2--0-3p0-2--| CHORUS RIFF A - PLAY TWICE THEN GO TO B ------------- E|----------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------| G|--|----------------------------------------------------|--| D|--|.2---2-0h2---5--5-5/7\5---2---2-0h2---5--5-5/7\5p0h.|--| A|--|.2---2-0h2---5--5-5/7\5---2---2-0h2---5--5-5/7\5p0h.|--| D|--|-2---2-0h2---5--5-5/7\5---2---2-0h2---5--5-5/7\5p0h-|--| Feels like...
