Supermassive Black Hole Live

Tabbed by: interlude46

Tuning: Standard


Intro: Matt will play an E minor pentatonic blues improvisation before the song starts,
he uses a Fernandes Sustainer to get the sustain and harmonic overtones, but an Ebow or 
just straight playing would work too. Sometimes this is quite simple and sometimes Matt
will tap with his right hand too (e.g. Live in Rome); here's the HAARP version:

Chorus repeat



Riff: "Supermassive Black Hole..." - Matt will either play the intro riff here, or something
else bluesy; here's the HAARP riff:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-7---5-------------------------5-6-7---5------------------------5-6--------|
E|--------7-6-5-3-0--x-0-3-5-6-7-----------7-6-5-3-0--x-0-3-5-6-7------------|

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------(Kaoss Pad)--|
D|-5b--------------------------------------------------x-x-x--x--------------|
A|-----7-------------------------5-6-7---5-------------x-x-x--x--------------|
E|--------7-6-5-3-0--x-0-3-5-6-7-----------7-6-5-3-0---x-x-x--x--------------|


Solo: The first part (and sometimes all) of the live solo is done on a Kaoss Pad (with a high
ascending E minor pentatonic scale over the top if the Kaoss Pad is used for the full section);
here's the second part from HAARP:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-7-7-7-7-7----7-7-7-7------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9b9b9b9b9b---9b9b9b9b-9-7-------7h9p7---7---------------------------------|
