Hey all. This is my rendition of Ashes in the Fall by Rage Against the Machine. There may
be minor errors but it all seems right to my ear. You will need a whammy pedal and some
mid-tempo delay. Maybe a wah to boost the higher frequencies but that can be done with a
simple EQ. Anyhoo, here's the tab, it is my first so please excuse errors. I find it to
be a quite excellent song, big shame they fell apart.

Now in this part I'm not too sure on how to get the various harmonics going

Unfortunately, this is another riff that is fairly elusive to my ears. it sounds correct

For Fig 7. Just play an A at 10 on the B string and mess with the whammy pedal while
fading out
That should be it for the song!

Thanks and happy guitaring!
Very nice tab but it would be helpful to show us where these riffs go during the song
well i did
like it says, repeat riff whatever but i was lazy so i didnt write how many times to play it. If that's what you meant, sorry, otherwise...yeah...
