Bulls on Parade Guitar Tab - Rage Against the Machine

I have recently transcribed Bulls on Parade a totally awesome song for one of my guitar students. So, I thought I would share the tab FREE with you, my awesome readers. Bulls on Parade Guitar Tab (pdf version) is a pretty funktastic and energetic song by Rage Against the Machine and should be played with plenty of energy and attitude. The key to the song is also sitting back into the groove, but striking the strings with plenty of power and precision.The original version (on the record) is tuned down a half step to Eb, but if you listen to any live version, it is as transcribed in E.

The Solo

The solo is tricky and pretty un-transcribable as it is used by sliding the hand across the strings above the pickup whilst flicking between the bridge and neck pickup (you will need separate volume controls for each to achieve the stuttering effect), this is also played with a whammy pedal, so you will need to use your imagination to mimic what Tom Morello is doing here. Give me a shout if you would like some more information on how to do this and I will be able to instruct you. If I have time I will try and put out a video lesson for this track. The best way to figure out this solo though, is to check out some of the live videos of Tom playing this track on youtube. This will enable you to see exactly his hand movements and how he is applying pressure to the strings to achieve the DJ scratching style effect, and it will also help improve your ears but trying to match the sound (rather than actual notes).

Guitar Creativity - The Double Tapped Note

This video guitar lesson is an based on an silly idea I had to convince people you are playing insanely fast. Now, we would all like to do that wouldn't we, especially if in reality we aren't actually playing that fast at all.

The Double Tapped Note

So I should start by saying that this lesson may or may not work for you! Don't worry,  I can already feel the YouTube hate, but when I came up with this idea, the whole concept is to try and expand on a concept (tapping in this case), which already has many rules and ways of doing it, and break out of the box and create something brand new. I think this concept is pretty new (well it is to me, I don't think I have ever seen Eddie Van Halen doing it!) and it may or may not be of use, but it is exercising a different muscle, the creativity muscle.

The Creativity Muscle

This is something I am always talking about in my workshops, and forms a part of my guitar creativity book, by trying unusual concepts something new will develop. Now in this case it might not be the tapped double note, but it might spark something which leads to you develop another technique and who knows you might develop something out of it yourself, it is all about giving you ideas to develop your own voice. This is what most of our guitar heroes did, and that is why we recognise them as being the gods that they are, they were unique, they push boundaries and the found their own ways of expressing themselves. Go forward and create.It's great fun and some interesting things can come out of this technique. I am calling it The Double Tapped Note– Guitar Creativity
