"Sabotage" by The Beastie Boys


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.
