Take The Power Back by Rage Against The Machine



Tabbed by R. Allen Canterbury



This is a cool song.  Sounds like it's got some funk-slap stuff going on.

I've debated people on whether it's just sharp plectrum picking or actual

slap play.  I prefer the slap play myself.  As I have this song written, the

low E is tuned down 1 step to a "D".  It sounds better to me, and also the

next-to-last little riff (the one repeated 16 times) works nicely using 3

octaves of "D" as it sounds on the record.

The main slap riff is kinda hard to pin down w/ the bass drum in the

background, so I don't know if he's slap-muting or if it's the drum.  Play it

however you like.  The little tail on the main slap riff varies every time

he repeats the whole set (set = 3 main riffs, 1 tail riff).  I put down one

possible tail, but you should vary it each time for fun.  If ANYONE has all

of the different tails tabbed out, POST THEM!  I'd like to know.
