Sabotage Tab

Cancer Bats - Sabotage (Beastie Boys Cover)
 
This tab was taken from the Cancer Bats' live session on BBC Radio 1, on the 24th January 2010
This isn't 100% dead on, but it's close.
It's very easy and fun to play. Enjoy!

It appears Scott varies the pinch harmonic, it's always on the 5th fret, but sometimes he does it
the G as well as the D string.

Play and palm mute as many times as necessary, slowly release palm mute and play the 2
shown on the left (the two that aren't palm muted)
 
And that's about it!
 
I am not posting the order of which to play what part, as it's easy enough to work out.
I figured that if you were looking this up, you'd know.
 
Sorry if the explanations sounded vague at times, I just don't know any other way to put them.
 
Enjoy!
