Rage Against The Machine: Bulls on Parade

This all requires low fingers for delicate string control, no jumping around, let masses of overdrive put the power in. Intro part 1 for example; swap the strings you squeeze on from high to low but do not lose touch with them.

Vital Tip; Chorus Riff: The grey x marks are where you need to deaden those strings with the edge of your fingers being used either side, you don't want the strings to sound. That's the fiddly bit.
