Failure - Pillowhead
I don't think the verse tab is correct, although it sounds close.
If anyone knows the correct way, please let me know.
Tune down all strings 1/2 step (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)
Key:
' = Pull-on/off
~ = Note is played more. (Tabbing it would be a waste of time,
just figure out how long it is played on your own.)
(2) = Natural Harmonic
<~ = Repeats using delay
Verse:
Guitar 1 (Acoustic)
E |--------------------------------|
B |--------------------------------|
G |--------------------------------|
D |-------------------------4-5--7-|
A |-----------------2-2-2-2-2-3--5-|
E |-2-2-5-5-6-6-5-5-0-0-0-0--------| (Play x12)
(I let the A string ring open on this part; it makes it sound fuller.)
Guitar 2 (Electric w/ Distortion):
Enters right before the 9th verse repeat (0:23).
E |-------------|
B |-------------|
G |-4-5--7------|
D |-4-5--7------|
A |-2-3--5-(2)~-|
E |-------------| (Play x4)
(To do the natural harmonic, lightly hold finger directly over 2nd fret)
Chorus: (Guitars 1 and 2)
E |-------------------------------------------------|
B |-------------------------------------------------|
G |-8~-5~-9~-10~-8~-5~-9~-10~-8~-5~-9~-10~-8~-5~-9~-|
D |-8~-5~-9~-10~-8~-5~-9~-10~-8~-5~-9~-10~-8~-5~-9~-|
A |-6~-3~-7~-8~--6~-3~-7~-8~--6~-3~-7~-8~--6~-3~-7~-|
E |-6~-3~-7~-8~--6~-3~-7~-8~--6~-3~-7~-8~--6~-3~-7~-|

Alernate Bridge Harmonics: G |--(5)~-(5)~-(5)~-|
(The other way sounds better D |-(4)~-(4)~-(4)---|
on my guitar but this is easier.)
Bridge Fill: (Guitar 2 w/ Delay and Distortion) (0:58)

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 FAILURE 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.
