You Know My Name - Chris Cornell
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Karleen Heong
Email: the_aurora_australis@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
This arrangement is not exactly as the recording,its changed a little. I tabbed it
for two guitars, including the more prominent synth/brass parts,but I haven't included
You may find some of the guitar 1 parts overlap, but I didn't cut them out so you can
it with three guitars too.
I tried my best to imitate the special effect sounds using harmonics etc, but with a
pedal you may find a better sound. Anyway, here's the tab. I'll walk you through the
bits.
Key:
| . palm mute(PM)
| b bend

Note: Try the pinch harmonics nearer the bridge,it's hard to get the same
sound heard in the song. Next is a lot of pre-bended notes. Bend the
string first, play the note and release the bend. Numbers in brackets
tell you what note to bend to. Numbers after 'r' are the frets where your fingers
be. Bends like 'r7' without brackets mean just pre-bend a little, like 1/4 of a tone.
