BAND= Rage Against The Machine
GUITARIST= Tom Morello( god )
ALBUM= self titled
TUNNING= Drop D
TABBER= jesse and Tom morello ahaha
SONG= killing in the name
 
  O.K This tab is taken from the self titled tab book. The solo in the tab book is
very confusing so i wrote the exact solo from the tab book and the best  
internet solo i found. Live it looks like tom is playing the internet solo much more 
than the tab book solo, and it sounds better.The timing is probably off in alot 
of parts so figure it out on your own if i screwed up. my email is at the bottom
of the page if you have any questions or if you just want to add me go ahead.
have fun,enjoy the greatest band ever to step foot on stage!(not including 
audioslave)

Internet version: this sounds much better and when Tom plays this live
hes on these frets thats why the above solo is so confusing to me,and the tab
book solo is EXACTLY from the book no differences. I did not tab this.

Whammy set up 2 octaves. for each triplet depress the pedal once.
