Modern Life Is War - I'm Not Ready Tariq Khan semanticsofsong@gmail.com Tuning: half-step down (D#-G#-C#-F#-A#-d#) An oldie main riff; figure out strumming pattern and exact amount: |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |-7-7-7--9-9-9--10-10-10--9-9-9--5-5-5--9-9-9--7-7-7-| |-0-0-0--0-0-0---0--0--0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-| |----------------------------------------------------| this chord is played throughout the song, not exactly sure how many times. listen to figure out. |----| |----| |----| |-3~-| |-3~-| |-1~-| other main riff: |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |-14-14-14--16-16-16--17-17-17--16-16-16--12-12-12--16-16-16--14-14-14--| |--x--x--x---x--x--x---x--x--x---x--x--x---x--x--x---x--x--x---x--x--x--| |-12-12-12--14-14-14--15-15-15--14-14-14--10-10-10--14-14-14--12-12-12--| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| this is a very simple song, but the only tab I've seen on the internet is wrong. you play these two main riffs back and forth, sometimes they are layered; at certain points there are 3 or 4 guitars at once. the F chord is just played throughout, listen for it. Enjoy!
