Dropped D Tuning

Intro

D |-0-2-3-|
A |-0-2-3-|
D |-0-2-3-|

play that like 20 some times and then this:

D |-3-5-3-0-|-0-2-3-0-|
A |-3-5-3-0-|-0-2-3-0-|
D |-3-5-3-0-|-0-2-3-0-|

Then the pre-chorus which goes:

D |-0-3-0-3-5-0|
A |-0-3-0-3-5-0|
D |-0-3-0-3-5-0|

Do it all over again, and then the chorus:
         +14                         +14 
D |-0-0-3---0-0--0-3-5-3-0-2-3-|-0-0-3---0-0-7-8-7--2-3-2|

D |-0-0-3---0-0--0-3-5-3-0-2-3-|-0-0-3---0-0-7-8-7--2-3-2|

Then there's the Interlude:
(This is the part in the song where I get the guitar stuff completely wrong).

D |-0--0-0-7-9-9-9--9-9-9-|-0--0-0-5-6-3-4-4--4-4-4-|

                                        do this palm-muted, then louder


the ending goes just like the riff right before the half-time feel (*)

Born Annoying

Transcription with no guarantees by Chris James (AKA [email protected])

This is HELMET's great rock anthem.  It's just two parts;
amazing how Page can make a cool 7-minute song w/ just 2 riffs.

Riff 1

D-3/5-3/5-6-6--3-|
A-3/5-3/5-6-6--3-|
D-3/5-3/5-6-6--3-|
When it comes to the pre-chorus, I usually just strum all
6 strings on the sixth fret.  It sounds close enough.

Riff 2

D-2-2--X-X--X-2-2--X-X--X-2-2--X-X--X-2-2-0--0|
A-2-2--X-X--X-2-2--X-X--X-2-2--X-X--X-2-2-0--0|
D-2-2--X-X--X-2-2--X-X--X-2-2--X-X--X-2-2-0--0|

This song is faster than usual, so keep that
in mind reading this. There's alot of fast strumming here.
The first part of this is Page banging on this chord:

E---
B---
G-5-
D-5-
A-3-
D-3-

Then it's this:

D-0-0-0-0-3`0-0-0-3
A-0-0-0-0-3`0-0-0-3
D-0-0-0-0-3`0-0-0-3

Chorus:

Just strum the first chord and then this one:

E---
B---
G-7-
D-7-
A-5-
D-5-

During the guitar solo, there is no rythmn guitar
until this riff.  Play the chorus riff with that
same chord shape ( just at the first fret ) after
the first two chords. The last part goes:

D-0-0-0-0-3--0-3--3-
A-0-0-0-0-3--0-3--3-
D-0-0-0-0-3--0-3--3-

This is a song Helmet covered off of the "SATURDAY MORNING'S GREATEST HITS"
album. It's not very complex, as most Helmet songs aren't. The only difficult part
is the guitar solo which really isnt that hard(solos are a pain in the ass to tab
out). I will tell you that the solo is in the key of B flat major(relative minor G).
Right now though here are all the riffs. To get the rhythmic affect for the bridge
riff, make sure where there a muted notes,you mute with your palm and right hand.
ENJOY!

He Feels Bad

Transcription with no guarantees by Walker Logan Hagius, [email protected]

Ok, here is some more Helmet tab. All timing is VERY approximated. Listen
to the song and follow along on the tab before you play it, because as
you know, proper rhythm and timing are everything with Helmet. Let's face
it--the music isn't that complicated. Guess that's why I'm able to
transcribe it. ;)

Anyway, crank the distortion and have fun.


INTRO:

VERSE RIFF B:

Play INTRO, then VERSE RIFF A, then B, then repeat A and B and go to            
CHORUS A. Play CHORUS A twice. Go back to VERSE RIFFS A and B, then
go to CHORUS B. Play CHORUS B four times. Go back to VERSE RIFFS A
and B. Play A and B twice. Go back to CHORUS B, play four times.
Play PART WITH NO WORDS (what should I have called it, anyway?).
Then play BRIDGE, and go to CHORUS B. Keep repeating CHORUS B
all the way thru the solo, which you can figure out yourself if you
really have the urge. Towards the end of the solo, play BRIDGE over
and over till end of song. Yay, you're done!

This song is in dropped C#
A fast way to tune like this is to get the botttom string just like the beginning of Overrated
drums...
E-----------0-0---------
B-----------5-5-------3-
G-----------5-5-------2-
D---------3---------0-0-
A---------3---------0---
D---------3---------0---
there's a small whammy bar dive in there somewhere
D-5-4-3-0-----0
A-5-4-3-0-----0
D-5-4-3-0-----0
E-1-
B-3-
G-3-
D-1-

The next part is natural harmonics on the 10th fret, and then 2 times on the 9th.
D-4-3-0-0--0
A-4-3-0-0--0
D-4-3-0-0--0
then
D-4-3-0-0--0-4-3-0-2-3-0-
A-4-3-0-0--0-4-3-0-2-3-0-
D-4-3-0-0--0-4-3-0-2-3-0-

I don't make any attempt to show rhythm or timing here, that's too much
trouble. Just listen to the CD or tape or whatever and pick up the rhythm.
Helmet is a very tight band (they're great live), so pay close attention to 
the rhythm if you want it to sound good. Also, play with your palm muting,
figure out what sounds best to you.

Oh yeah, don't forget to use dropped-D tuning. (Tune low E string to D.)


  {=============Intro=============}
E-|-------------------------------|
B-|-------------------------------|
G-|-------------------------------|
D-|-0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8---0-|
A-|-0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8---0-|
D-|-0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8---0-|
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                                                                           
Just ad lib the part with the arrows under it. Hit each chord once or twice, 
then when you get to the last chord, the D5, hit it hard and just let it ring 
out for 16 beats. Try to get it to feedback right at the end before the main 
riff starts.

Play the main riff four times, then just play the open D5 in rhythm. Use this
rhythm wherever the tab says 0.... Listen to the song and play along.
Palm mute this part and remember to TOTALLY mute the strings when the band
does to get that serious Helmet rhythm effect.
