Supermassive Black Hole (tablature)

Guitar

I apologise in advance for the incoherence of this tab
This song is broken down to three main riffs, intro, verse and chorus.
Intro:
e|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
G|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|
A|-----10--------10---------|
E|--0-----0--0-0----0--0*0-0|
This is played 4 times, and on the fourth time, go from the * to:
e|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
G|-----2br-0h2p0------------|
B|---------------2----------|
A|--------------------------|
E|--------------------------|

(The official tab says as above, but I prefer to play it like this.
e|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
G|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|
A|-12br--10h12p10-----------|
E|-----------------12-------|
)

Verse
e|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
A|------10-------------------10--------775----------|
E|0--0------0--0--333--0--0------0--0--553----------|

e|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
A|------10-------------------10--------779----------|
E|0--0------0--0--333--0--0------0-*0--557----------|
Play through twice, and on the second time go from the star to:
e|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
G|-----2br-0h2p0------------|
B|---------------2----------|
A|--------------------------|
E|--------------------------|
Play all that twice over, then play:
chorus you need to play 4 times.
Chorus: play it like this 3 times
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----7-----7-7-6-----5---------------9-----8-7-5----------------|
A|------------------------------------------------7--------------|
E|5-5---5-5-------3-3---3-3-5-5-6-7-7---7-7--------0-0-2-2--3-3-4|

Then in the fourth repeat of the chorus play it like this:
e|----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----7-----7-7-6-----5---------------9-----8-7-5------------5----|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|5-5---5-5-------3-3---3-3-5-5-6-7-7---7-7--------7-7-6-5-3---2-0|



Play this throughout the chorus.
For the second verse, it's all bass, with two Em chords.
The first one is just before the start of the vocals,
the second is just after "...fool for no one.".
Em:
EADGBe
022000

Live Notes:

When Matt does the solo, riff two is played in the background.
Unless you have an effects processor the size of
Jupiter,
chances are you won't be able to do what Matt does on the album (hence why he does a Kaoss Pad solo live)

Matt plays the intro live like this.
e|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-------------------------10-10-9---|
A|-----10----------10----------------|
E|--0-----0--0-0-0----0-0*-----------|
Again, repeat four time and go from the star on the fourth repitition
to the next bit (see above)

The second verse live is played like this:

e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|-------5----------------7~~~~~~---------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|---0-------------0----------------------------------|


For the "SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE" bit,
There's a few riff's Matt likes to mix and match between, and they are:
e|------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------|
A|-7----5-----------------------------------5--6--7-----|
E|---------7--6--5--3--0--5--0--3--5--6--7--------------|
(This one is played during the first bridge of the
Live recording on the Black Holes DVD)
OR
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|-----10---------------10---------10-------------10--|
E|-0--------------0--0----------0-----------0--0------|
(This one is plaed during both bridges at Reading '06)
OR
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|-0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7--0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-------------------|
(This one is from the second bridge of the Paris show on the Black Holes DVD)

D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------5-7-----------------------5-7|
E|-0--1--2--3--4--5--6-7-----0--1--2--3--4--5--6-7----|




Instrumental part:
this starts with a "D.J. style" kaoss pad scratch solo.
This can be imitated by sliding the palm of your hand on the strings,
or by scraping the pick on the lower string.
I recommend on watching a live performance of this so you can get the rythmic feel.
after the kaoss solo, these notes are played:

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|5-5-5-5b--6-6-6-5-5-5-5b--6-6-6-5-3-0-3----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------4br--2-0-2-4br---0---------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------4~~~~~---------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|


Then: chorus, and:
