Artist: Alien Ant Farm
Title: Smooth Criminal
Tabbed by: CAiNsKi
Note: This tab is not exactly what the artist plays, as I believe
has been tabbed previously at OLGA - it is an easier-to-play
version. Your guitar needs to be tuned slightly differently from
the original song (as you can see on the tab). However, it is
compatible with both the cd version of the song and the other
tabs on this site, and sounds just as great. So here goes.

Just before the solo is a slow pick slide up the low D string
with heavy distortion. It leads directly into the solo below.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ALIEN ANT FARM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
