I figured out the solo now, thanks to BldSwtTs for posting part
of the solo. This is the whole solo,
I added the part that BldSwtTs didn't put in his tab. I also changed it a bit.


This part has a wah on with full distortion. Tony also uses a slide here,
as you can see in the video. For the dead notes (x), use the slide over the pickups.

C|---8-------8----------------------------------------------x----|
G|-------------------------------x*------x/----------------------|
C|----------------------------5--x*--------------x/8h(8)/9\------|

Tony drops the slide here.

C|----------------------------x---8---8-8---8---9-9--9---------|
G|--6--7---7~~~~~--(7)----x------------------------------------|

The wah isn't on the whole time now, listen for when you need it.

For the last note, bend the 22nd fret up a full step. If you have a guitar with 24
frets, you can just slide up to it. My guitar only has 22, so I use the bend.
You could even play it as a harmonic on the 5th fret if it's easier for you.


Feel free to add your own touches to this, as I didn't get every last little detail.
I like to improvise the solo on this song sometimes, since I think it's more fun.
The solo is really hard anyway, and I don't like to let people know when
I mess up.:)Have fun with this song, it really kicks ass.

Thanks! I'm trying to work on tabs for about 5 different bands right now, and Ive been really busy lately, so it's gonna be a while before I can get some more tabs up. Hopefully, I'll have the whole Faceless album done by the end of the month, and I'll try to figure out keep Away, although that's not a song I listen to very much.

This is pretty good Astat. Finally someone knows that godsmack is tuned to C. Perhaps you could figure out keep away in C for me. Kickass job.

Here's a note to everybody viewing my tab. Some of the numbers may not look right, but they sound right. I switch strings sometimes, so it's easier. This is the way I play the song, and it sounds perfect if I play it along to the CD. Feel free to play this how you see fit, but I think that this is the easiest way. I'm also a bit off on the solo, but I like to improvise solos anyway.
I'd like some feedback on this tab, or any of my others.
