BULLET IN THE HEAD – LIVE SOLO
By RATM
Album: Rage Against The Machine video
Transcribed by Adam Poulsen and John

This is the live version as heard on the self-titled video.
Tom pretty much used this solo (with a few variations) for the whole ’96 Evil Empire tour.

Step one - Turn on the wah, unplug the lead and tap against the metal parts on your guitar while rocking the wah.

The timing isn’t perfect. 
Step Two - The normal playing starts here

w/Wah on full treble

Rock wah now

Then play this faster bit, which is based on the Dorian scale..
Wah off
Tom drops out of beat a bit on this lick, so it may be easier to just skip a note.
