Mexican Standoff

Tabbed by: Bas Vos

For this song, you'll have to tune 
your lower E-string down 1 step
(Dropped-D tuning).

Listen to the song to get a feel for
 the rhythm; it is alternate picking
throughout.


Opening riff:


  Riff 1 (4x)

E|-------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
D|-0--0-0-0--5-0-4~-0-0-0--2~-0--|

A|-4~-0-0-0--4-0-5~-0-0-0-5-0-7~-
D|-------------------------------

E|----------------------------|   
B|----------------------------|   
G|----------------------------|   
D|----------------------------|   
A|0-0-0-7-0-9~-0-0-0-10-10\---|   
D|----------------------------|   

These two riffs are the basic 
'building blocks' of the song.


Then the solos:


Solo 1 (played with distortion):

E|--------------------------------
B|--------------------------------
G|--------------------------------
D|--------------------------------
A|-0-4p0-0-4p0-0-4p0-0-4p0-0--7-0-
D|--------------------------------

E|-----------------------------|   
B|-----------------------------|   
G|-----------------------------|   
D|-----------------------------|   
A|5~~~---------------------0-0-|   
D|---7b(8)b7--5b(6)--4~~~------|   


E|------------------------
B|------------------------
G|------------------------
D|------------------------
A|-0-4p0-0-4p0-7-7-0-5~~--

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

D|-------------------------------------|   
A|9b(10)b9-7~~-------------------------|   
D|-----------9b(10)b9--7~~--9-10-7~~---|   


Solo 2(2x) (distorted):

E|--------------------------------
B|--------------------------------
G|--------------------------------
D|--------------------------------
A|-4p0-0-4p0-0-4p0-0-4p0-0--5p0-0-
D|--------------------------------

E|------------------|   
B|------------------|   
G|------------------|   
D|------------------|   
A|5p0-0-5p0-0-5p0-0-|   
D|------------------|   


                                                             (2nd time only)

E|--------------------------------
B|--------------------------------
G|--------------------------------
D|--------------------------------
A|-7p0-0-7p0-0-7p0-0-7p0-0--9p0-0-
D|--------------------------------

E|-------------------------|--------
B|-------------------------|--------
G|-------------------------|--------
D|-------------------------|--------
A|9p0-0-9p0-0-9p0-0-10-10\-|-5~~----
D|-------------------------|--------

After the solos, it's back to an 
alternation of riffs 1 and 2.


The final chord is:

E|------|            
B|------|            
G|------|            
D|--0---|            
A|--0---| (let ring) 
D|--0---|            

Not the hardest part of the song 
surely.

~ = vibrato
\ = slide down
p = pull-off
9b(10)b9 = bend to the note between 
brackets and release again


Have fun,

Bas
