^ This is actually played by a 2nd
guitar doing the top part of riff
3... but with some practice, it
can sound pretty good with just
one guitar
HAPPINESS IN SLAVERY:
distorted synth & drum sounds here...
(:32) Main bass riff (I think, someone help me with this):

muted, first time thru pick only E string, the rest pick chords.
then bass line for a couple of chorus: (don't open your eyes...)
(1:52) Guitar riff 3
smoothly:
E--------------------------|
B--------------------------|
G------------------5^------|<-micro-bend up 1/2 fret or so to give
D---3h4p3---3h4p3----4-----| the right sound.

The "X" signifies the muting/dampening of the string.
Suggestions: play the 7 on A with your index finger. Play the 9 on D with
your 4th (out of 5) finger. Play the 10 on D with your pinky. Play the 7 on
G with your 3rd finger and leave it there - don't lift it for the remainder
of the measure. Play the 10 on A with the 4th, play the 9 on B also with
the 4th and hold it there to ring out for the rest of the measure.
Keep the E and A string as a steady drone.

Play all 4 measures over and over, etc...
Suggestions: same fingering for the third measure as the first. I
find it easiest to play the 7-7 in the fourth measure with my 3rd and
4th fingers. Then when I hit the 6 on D, I can use my index finger
without lifting my third finger up. Let the first 6 on D ring for
that extra eighth note. Let the 7 on G ring for the remainder of the
measure.

Here are some corrections...I think they sound better than what you had
previously posted here.
PINION
I have no idea how this one got screwed up.
1:
2:
3:
4: 3 4 5 6 3 4 5 6
5: 3 4 5 6 3 4 5 6 6 4
6: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Repeat that 8 times getting louder each time.
WISH
This one was pretty good, except you forgot this:
1:
2:
3: 12 10 12 13 12 12 10 12 13 12 12 10 12 13 12 10~~~~
4: 10 12 10 12 10 12
5:
6:
A second guitar plays that twice during the outro
HAPPINESS IN SLAVERY
What you had was actually a pretty good tabbing of this song. The only
thing is you tabbed it a half step lower than it is on the CD. To avoid any
confusion, I'm tabbing my correction that way too.
The guitar riff 3 actually goes like this:
1: )
2: 5 4
3:
4: 3^4^3~~~~ 3^4^3
5:
6:
The main bass riff sound wrong, but I don't own a bass so maybe somone else
out there could fix it...
GAVE UP
Why didn't you post it? It goes something like this:
1:
2:
3: 2 4 5 4 2
4: 2 4 2 4 4 5 4 2 4
5: 2 4 0 2 4 3 2 0 4
6: 0 2 2 2
The second verse is E5 - F#5 at the 7th and 9th fret (I think). I would
post the synth solo after the first chorus but I'm not bored enough to try
and figure it out. Can anyone else out there tab it?
