Tuning:

Muse - New Born *Modified - I noticed a wrong chord, in the chorus - LOOK* Tabbed By Chris Blackburn - toffy2k@btinternet.com Muse are ace, cos i saw them live, and this song just rocks. I'm working my way thru completely tabbing the songs as full as possible, and this was next on my hitlist. Enjoy Tuning - Dropped-D DADGBE Notes / slide up slide down h hammer on p pull off ^ string bend Effects required - Whammy pedal and any means of distortion (preferably two) Intro - this is played by matt on the piano, so i have arranged it for 2 guitars, if you are only using one guitar, play the second part, as it sounds better as a solo perfomance. If you want the piano part, im sure i could write it out and scan it for you, if you email and ask for it.
