mexicandude73188mexicandude73188Unknown Date
interesting..the intro seems fine...but the chorus is just wrong....
akwarriorakwarriorUnknown Date
Tab worked great for me but your 2 pre verse i think it should go like this insted of on the C 77777777,666666666,9999999999,12121212121212 i think you should play it on both C strings insted of just one
MolemanMolemanUnknown Date

Your Corrections


so far, I haven't seen no one tab the right way of playing the Chop Suey! chorus
maggotsinfest13maggotsinfest13Unknown Date
squire you're wrong the tuning is correct, and i have the tab book if anyone wants me tab out the chorus.
SOADfan147SOADfan147Unknown Date
keep it simple it not 8p7 for pre verse its just


7 7 7 7 8 8 8 8 9 9 9 9 12 12 12 12 try it
maggotsinfest13maggotsinfest13Unknown Date
umm actually the 8p7 part is needed, maybe you should listen to the song more closely, it is the part where it first switches to a heavy feel. but in the book it says that its not pulloffs he picks every note of it. for example


8-7-8-7-8-7-8


8-7-8-7-8-7-8


8-7-8-7-8-7-8 but pulloffs work as well and it makes it easier.
