Take a Picture

Finally a correct version here for you. The others came close in parts,
but this is 100% correct, just like Geno plays it.

Drop D Tuning

-------------------------

Intro Riff (distortion on) - you can only hear it clearly on the album version at
the start, it then continues throughout the verse for the rest of the song in the background:

There are some synth arrangements during the bridge ("Hey Dad whadda you think
of your son...") which I don't believe they play live.

Use a bridge pickup, preferably a humbucker, bright and twangy. In a live
situation use a clean electric with a little reverb and delay instead of an
acoustic, that's what Filter do live. Geno uses a custom shop strat one has a
Seymour Duncan Trembucker in the bridge, one has an Invader. That's probably the
trembucker you're hearing on the record.

Peace.
