Rage Against the Machine "Freedom"

by amayes@esoc.bitnet

The tab for this in Nevada is complete crap - so here's my stuff.

The first riff is

E-------------------------------------------------x-x-x---------

B-------------------------------------------------x-x-x---------

G-------------------------------------------------x-x-x---------

D---------------------------------------------------------------

A---5-------3---------5-5----5-------3---------5----------------

E-----0-3-5---5-3-5-3----0-3---0-3-5---5-3-5-3------------------

this is repeated often ! Except that the last 3 notes are replaced

with

E---------------------------------------------------------------

B---------------------------------------------------------------

G---------------------------------------------------------------

D---------------------------------5-4-3-------------------------

A------12 slide down to 5---OR----------5-4-3-------------------

E------12 slide down to 5---------------------------------------

and other noises which are easy to follow.

The riff over the verses is below ( Nevada is CRAP at this point )

E---12-----12--12----12-12-12-----12---12-12--------------------

B---10-----10--10----10-10-10-----10---10-10------5-4-5-5-------

G---12-----12--12----12-12-12-----12---12-12------5-4-5-5-------

D---10-----10--10----10-10-10-----10---10-10------5-4-5-5-------

A---------------------------------------------------------------

E------0-0-------0-0----------0-0---0-0-----0-0-----------------

repeat etc

The following riff is played after "anger is a gift"

E---------------------------------------------------------------

B---------------------------------------------------------------

G---------------------------------------------------------------

D---------------------------------------------------------------

A----3-3-3-3-----5-5-3---3-5--repeat etc------------------------

E------------5-3-------5----------------------------------------

this changes to

E---------------------------------------------------------------

B---------------------------------------------------------------

G----5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-5-7 repeat etc------------------------

D---------------------------------------------------------------

A---------------------------------------------------------------

E---------------------------------------------------------------

The following riff also occurs

E---------------------------------------------------------------

B---------------------------------------------------------------

G---------------------------------------------------------------

D----------------5-3-5-3-5-------------------3------------------

A------5-3-5-3-5----------3-2-3-2-3----------3------------------

E----------------------------------5-3-5-3-5-3---repeat---------

Towards the end as the vocals first start with >

the guitar goes

E---------------------------------------------------------------

B---------------------------------------------------------------

G-----------5-6-7-----------------------------------------------

D---3-4-5-7----------repeat etc---------------------------------

A-5-------------------------------------------------------------

E---------------------------------------------------------------

this then changes at the end bit to

E---------------------------------------------------------------

B-------------------------------------------------3-------------

G-------------------------------------------------2-------------

D------------2-5-6-7---repeat etc end chord is ---0-------------

A--0--3-4-5--0-3-4-5------------------------------0-------------

E--0--3-4-5---------------------------------------0-------------

The rest of the song is just a variation on these with added

scrapes etc.

As with most of their songs tune the guitar dow to D.

Rage Against the Machine "Freedom"

The solo.

Transcribed by Emilio Olivares Aguayo(TOby) from Monterrey, MEXICOSubject: Freedom, Rage Against the Machine

Here is the tab to "Freedom" by Rage Against The Machine.

Transcribed by Greg Bundy.

Dropped D Tuning

Riff 1

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----5-------3-------5-5-----5-------3-------5--x-x-x-x---------------------

-------0-3-5---5-3-5-----0-3---0-3-5---5-3-5----x-x-x-x---------------------

Then the next part goes like this.

Riff 2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----15-----15-15---------15---15-15-------15-----15-15---------------------

-----14-----14-14---------14---14-14-------14-----14-14---------------------

-----12-----12-12---------12---12-12-------12-----12-12---------------------

-----12-----12-12---------12---12-12-------12-----12-12----------10-9-10-10-

--------0-0-------0-0-0-0--------------0-0----0-0-------0-0-0-0--10-9-10-10-

Then it goes back to Riff 1, and Riff 2. This is followed by a break in

whick only the drums and bass plays.

After spoken: "Anger is a gift..."

Riff 3

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----3-3-3-3-3-3-5--5-5-5-3-5-----------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Play this four times.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

------5-5-5-5-5-5-7--7-7-7-5-7----------------------------------------------

------3-3-3-3-3-3-5--5-5-5-3-5----------------------------------------------

------------------0--0-0-0---0----------------------------------------------

Play this four times.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

------4-4-4-4-4-4-6--6-6-6-4-6----------------------------------------------

------5-5-5-5-5-5-7--7-7-7-5-7----------------------------------------------

------5-5-5-5-5-5-7--7-7-7-5-7----------------------------------------------

------3-3-3-3-3-3-5--5-5-5-3-5----------------------------------------------

------------------0--0-0-0---0----------------------------------------------

Play this four times. On the fourth time hold the last chord.

It then plays a solo, which I don't know. If anyone does please post it.

Then it plays a new riff.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------5-3-5-3-5---------------------------------------------------

-----5-3-5-3-5------------3-2-3-2-3---------------3-------------------------

-------------------------------------5-3-5-3-5-3--3-------------------------

Next it goes to a variation of Riff 2, ending with a slide.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----15-----15-15---------15-\\\\slide\\\\\\\-------------------------------

-----14-----14-14---------14-\\\\slide\\\\\\\-------------------------------

-----12-----12-12---------12-\\\\slide\\\\\\\-------------------------------

-----12-----12-12---------12-\\\\slide\\\\\\\-------------------------------

--------0-0-------0-0-0-0----\\\\slide\\\\\\\-------------------------------

This slide is made by running the palm of your left hand up the strings

starting at the first fret.

Then it goes back to Riff 2.

The end of the song goes:

Play this softly with no distortion. (Normally played by bass)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------3--4--5-------------------------------------------------

-----0--3--5--6--7----------------------------------------------------------

Next, with heavy distortion:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------5--6--7-------------------------------------------------

-----0--3--5--6--7--3--4--5-------------------------------------------------

-----0--3--5--6--7----------------------------------------------------------

This is a great song to play because of all the changes in it.

Enjoy!

FREEDOM. RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE

PICKED OUT AND WRITTEN DOWN BY:

MARTIN WIKSTROM, SUNDSVALL, SWEDEN

Ok here is my try on Freedom.

First detune your E string to D. DADGBe.

Note! When I picked this out I used my acoustic guitar (since I dont

have a electric anymore) so there might be some mistakes but who

cares ?

p= Pull off

h= Hammer on

b= Bend one full step. (2 Frets).

/= Slide up

\= Slide down

Remember this is my brothers address so name the letter something

with oMartino.

Bye !

the riff after (spoken) "anger is gift"

-----------------------------------------

on the album version there may be used several overdubbed

guitar tracks. this is how i play that riff, because in

fact, i can only play one guitar at a time ;-)

don't know if it's right, but in my opinions it sounds

amazing! just try!
