Beastie Boys: Sabotage

*Note This song was recorded in Flat Tuning

Sabotage uses a rhythm style known as 'Syncopation'. Syncopated rhythms are such as when the count of the beat works as 1234 but another instrument plays notes in a loop of 123.

Vital tip: your index finger should be in constant touch with the D string over the 5th fret ready to push in for the note. Don't let fingers hover in mid air because they loose control and need to be guided back down.
