Song: Clear the Lane
Band: Rage Against the Machine
Album: Live & Rare
Tabbed by: T.C.
Email: bmrsnr14@gmail.com
Tuning: Standard
Key:
v = press down on Whammy Pedal
_ = Hold note
^ = Pull up on whammy pedal
/ = Slide
h = Hammer-on
p = Pull-off
\ = Slide off
Okay, I'll provide two versions of the song, one with the Whammy pedal, and
one without. But on the solo, the notes go too high to be able to tab out, so
you're on your own on that part, if you don't own a Whammy. It sounds a lot
better with the Whammy, though.
Intro/verse w/ Whammy boosted one octave higher:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-0___----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-v---^---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Press down fully on the pedal, then lift up after a couple beats
Intro/verse w/o Whammy:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-/17---17p0----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Chorus

D|---------7-------------------|----------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------|---5--7--7--7--5--8--8--8---------------------|
E|---7--7-------5--5---7--5--5-|----------------------------------------------|
Repeat this twice^^ Then
Repeat verse and chorus once
Solo w/ Whammy:
Typical Tom Morello, can't resist the Whammy. :P
I'm 100% on this, until the end of it, because it's hard to tab out the really
high notes when Tom's playing this fast.

This is the part I am not 100% on.

Repeat 3 times^^^
The last part, I have no idea, I think it sounds good if you do a bunch of pull
offs up the neck. But you're just going to have to improvise. Sorry, I tried my best.
