Tool - Lateralus
This tab is 100% correct, taken from several live videos, this is exactly what he plays.
It's very tricky at first, but with practice it sounds great.
Any questions E-mail me @ Tmx88@aol.com
Legend:
h- hammer on,
p - pull off
pm - palm mute
x - mute
- slide,
v - vibrato
b - bend,
*Distortion for this song = Boss MT-2 and ME-50 users(mt-2 setting), Drive 3/4,
bass 1/2, tone 1/2.
That should give you the closest sound.
(clean, delay)
