I Gift Tab By Taproot

 


Artist:  Taproot
Song:    I
Album:   Gift
Tuning:  A Standard (ADGCFA)
Author:  Mike Smith (sublime56@hotmail.com)

I saw Taproot live with Unloco, Chevelle and Disturbed just a couple
weekends ago and this is EXACTLY how Mike DeWulf played this song.
I tried my hardest to stay out of the moshpit for this song to see how
he played it and the other guitarist in my band also watched closely.
Here it is.

******To anyone reading this tab, it's not complete as I was wrong about
what tuning I was playing this song in.  I had it tuned to B when I wrote
this tab, so I'm in the process of completing it.  Don't bother reading it
until I'm done*******

Notation Key:
v - Downstroke
^ - Upstroke
h - Hammer On
p - Pull Off
~ - Let Ring
/ - Slide Up
 - Slide Down
x - Muted String
p.m. - Palm Mute

Oversampling begins here but this is the lead riff
while the chorus riff is played behind it.  Also, listen to the
CD because I didn't tab out exactly how many times to hit each
chord:
