If you wanna transpose it up to the Key of Cm and play it in C tuning go for it.
Personally, I think it sounds better that way... And I added that one little low
string that everyone complains about that he never uses in this song except in
the muted strums...

during the bridge part Ryknow plays some sort of chords. there are other stuff in your tab that is wrong. Just watch the video a couple times, and you will see what i mean
he sits and slaps half of it but in reality
none of it is slapped. You can't learn a
song from watchin a video
5 string but I saw him play it
live and he plays a 4 string
for the song cause it's in
standard so i hope that helped
and im pretty damn sure about that.
in their albums he tabbed the album version
so back off
video and he played it that way both times
I\\\\\\\'ve made a few changes and I think they\\\\\\\'re
pretty much right they\\\\\\\'re close i\\\\\\\'m at least 99% correct and Snoopy I have seen RyKnOw Play live and he uses Warwick FIVE STRING which is tuned (G,C,G,C,F)and you are right he does not play his low string in that song in the video he does a slide from the 2nd fret in the chorus but not live i think live its on his C string And Green day I saw him
play that pop live. And yea I know you
can\'t learn songs by videos for example when he strums the mutes in the bridge he
doesnt do that live.
live and he plays a
4 string an if it is
5 he just doesnt use the
low b string
1) Ryknow plays a 5 string
2) It's in standard tuning (B E A D G)
3) He DOES do the pings.
4) Despite the wrong tuning, your tab is extremely accurate.
5) At the end of each verse, he does fills that consist of slapping muted strings and popping notes. His last of these 4 fills is KILLER.
If you don't believe me, check out the video of Mudvayne doing Dig at the BDO in sydney. It's available from Morpheus, and i'm sure countless other media sharing devices. I'm sure about the tuning, because Gurrg tunes his guitar down to B. Overall, good tab.
HE DOES PLAY A STANDARD TUNED 5 STRING. If you want proof, on morpheus, download the video of mudvayne doing dig live at BDO. you can CLEARLY SEE he IS using the low string, and that he plays chords on the 'you ain't changin me' part. if you like (you'll need broadband for this one) i'll SEND YOU THE VIDEO. simply e-mail me at dystopya85@aol.com
C,G,C,F
1) In L.D. 50, he uses a 5 string tuned to:
E
B
F#
B
B
he slaps the 5th (tighter) string and plays on the 4th (looser) string. This I am certain because on the Dig DVD you can clearly see he does this. And I saw them live in Madison and he varies with a 4 and 5 string on various LD 50 songs.
2) They do play all their songs in drop C live (at least from the peoria DVD on)
and 3)
Their new album is in drop C and when they play live he does vary again between 4 and 5 strings on the new album songs too.
So this means he tunes his 4th and 5th strings the same.
THX for the read
It would be F#BF#BE(look in the Bass Player Mag on Ryan.
I think u should have written it ou like this

so that it is more clear when to slap and pluck and I totally agree with pelvicthrust's theory on the tuning
