Chords for A Guitar Lesson With Tom Morello | LNWY

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] Alright, well let's commence to rocking.
We're going to go through a couple _ Morellian riffs
here and the first one is appropriately a song called Killing in the Name, [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ which is
the first single off the very first Rage Against the Machine record.
It's a song, the main
[Bbm] riff I actually came up with _ when I was giving a guitar lesson to [D] someone else.
I was teaching
them how to do drop D tuning, which for you non-guitar players means all the strings are
tuned regularly like they normally are, except for the fattest string which is tuned down
to D.
I was showing this young man how to _ _ do that and I just played. _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ [D] I was like, hold
on one second.
I got my little cassette recorder and I pressed record, saved that for myself,
brought it to rehearsal the next day and the _ boys collaboratively made a song called Killing
in the Name out of that one.
Prophets of Rage is a band that I'm in and the very first single
off our most recent record is Unfuck the World, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ which has a guitar solo that _ was not a single
performance in the studio.
I played a bunch of different solos and kind of cobbled together _ _
a solo that felt almost like it had a sort of a pinch of _ electronica to it, the way that
it kind of like sort of Skrillex cuts in it.
Then I had to learn how to play that solo
live, which was a bit of a challenge and I will see if I can do that challenge right
[F] now.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
That's that one. _ _ _ _ _
Once Upon a Time, there was a band called Audioslave [E] and the first
song from the first record of Audioslave was a song called Cochise, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
which featured a _ spectacular _ _
Chris Cornell vocal and _ _ kind of _ crazy _ _ helicopter intro.
Sound a little bit something like that.
[F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Eb] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Cochise _ by Audioslave.
So this next song is a song called Battle Sirens off of my new
Atlas Underground record, which is a collaboration with the _ EDM group Knife [Bb] Party.
[Gb] _ [A] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Gm] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ They were
one of my principal inspirations for this record to create an alloy of our two sounds,
my analog, _ roaring 50 watt Marshall stack electric guitar made of wood and wires and
their unique way of looking at music with _ drops and bass drops and tension and release
and it goes something like this. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[A] _ _ [Em] _ [Bm] _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [Gb] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [Bm] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Bm] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[Gb] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Gb] _ [A] _
[Bb] _ _ _ [A] _ [Gm] _ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [G] _ [Gb] _ [A] _ [Dm] _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [A] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Something like that.
Currently on tour with Prophets
of Rage.
There's a little breakdown moment in the set where I do this _ _ sort of symphonic
_ toggle switch introduction to the next song.
[A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Years ago, when I first started filling with
the toggle switch, it was when everybody had like the Eddie Van Halen guitars, which were
known for having only one knob.
My guitar was very uncool.
It had multiple knobs and
switches and things.
So I discovered that if I turned the pickup, the volume of the
front pickup to zero and the volume of the back pickup to ten, when I went between the
two, _ _ _ [N] it would be an on off switch and that had applications.
For example, something like
the solo in Bulls on Parade, which is like a scratching.
So it's basically I'm just making
this white noise with my hand _ _ _ and then turning that noise on and off with the toggle switch. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ So that's that.
But then _ you can even kind of go a step further and adding the toggle
switch with a delay.
So basically, if I'm hitting one note, it just sounds like this.
[E] _
_ But I'm going to [A] play with the delay as if it's another guitar player and we're doing
a kind of a dueling banjo.
_ And _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ that's _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
the end of [Abm] that.
_ _ _ There you have it.
