"Part of Me" by Tool
Album - Opiate
Transcribed by Michael Tokar ([email protected])
(also used a bit of Taylor's tab to get me started)
This is a pretty straight forward song to play. Sounds excellent too,
although not as good if you don't have Danny Carey using his double-
kick pedal ;) Alot of bass comes into it too, so some parts are just
the bass playing the riff without the guitar.
X - mi***
p - pulloff
pm - palm mute
- slide down
() - ghost note
Dropped D tuning (DADGBE)
Intro
Big swell and feeback, followed by drum fill and this bass line leads
into the guitar on the bottom string
