Guitar Tab: "Be Aggressive"

Transcribed by : Paul D





'Lo all,



Here's the tab of Faith No More's "Be Aggressive".  I'm pretty sure what I

have here is fairly accurate.  I didn't tab out the solo though...





First, there's the keyboard part:

E-|----------|---------|---------------|--------|---------|--------------|

B-|----5--4--|-5-4-5---|---------------|---5--4-|-5-4-5---|--------------|

G-|----------|-------4-|-5-------------|--------|-------4-|-5------------|

D-|----------|---------|----7--8--7--5-|--------|---------|---7-8--------|

A-|----------|---------|---------------|--------|---------|--------------|

E-|-0--------|---------|---------------|-0------|---------|--------15\\\-|





Then all the instruments come in and you play this with a real shitty

distortion and lots and LOTS of wah:

E-|-----------------------|---------------|--------------------

B-|-----------------------|---------------|--------------------

G-|------7--6--7----------|---------------|------7--6--7-------

D-|------6--5--6----------|---------------|------6--5--6------->>>>>

A-|------7--6--7----------|-----2-3-4-----|------7--6--7----0--

E-|-0--0---------0--7-7-0-|-0-0--------3--|-0--0---------0-----





The first time through the main

riff, play this lead at the end:      The second time, do this one:

E-|-12-12-12-12---------------------|-------12----14-14-------14/16----------|

B-|-12----------15-12----12---------|-0--------12----12----12------(art.harm)|

G-|-------------------14----12------|---/13-------------14----------16-16-16-|

D-|----------------------------14\--|----------------------------------------|

A-|---------------------------------|----------------------------------------|

E-|---------------------------------|----------------------------------------|

*(art.harm) means artificial harmonics.  You don't HAVE to, but if you're

anal and you want it EXACLY like the record, fine, be that way...



There's some other little lead fills besides those two, but I don't think

they're really necessary.  Those two are the coolest ones anyway.



This here part is for the chorus.  Faith No More is not a guitar-based

band so they kinda bury the guitar in most songs.  This is mostly just

muting and raking the strings:

E-|---------------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|

B-|---------------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|

G-|---------------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|

D-|---x-x---x-x-x---x-x-x-----|-x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x-----|-x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x-|

A-|---x-x-5-x-x-x---x-x-x-4-5-|-x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x-5-7-|-x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x-|

E-|-0-x-x---x-x-x---x-x-x-----|-x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x-----|-x-x-x--x-x-x--x-x-x-|



E-|-----------------------|

B-|-----------------------|

G-|-----------------------|

D-|-x-x-x--x-x-x----------|then back to the main riff.

A-|-x-x-x--x-x-x--4-5-6-7-|

E-|-x-x-x--x-x-x----------|



I don't know exactly WHAT to call this next part but it's in there.  I

think it comes in after the second chorus before going into the keyboard

part from the beginning and then again at the end (outro):

E-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

B-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

G-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

D-|---------------------------------3-4-5-6-3-4-5-6-3-4-5-6-3-4-5-6--3-4-5|

A-|-4-5-6-7-4-5-6-7-4-5-6-7-4-5-6-7---------------------------------------|

E-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
