SILVERCHAIR - "freak 2" Tablature
Official SILVERCHAIR Tablature & Sheet Music »
This song is extremely easy considering it is in dropped D and
only uses the bottom three strings (except for the solo).
Just listen to the song and apply that to the tabs. I have
included all of the hidden notes and the solo.
Dropped D Tuning
^ - bend and release
h - hammer on
/ - slide up
\ - slide down

Solo (Riff E is played in the background but without Palm Muting)
The whole solo is 32nd notes, so you must pick out each note very
quickly and keep playing it nonstop. Listen to the song and you
will figure it out very easy. It helps to use a very light pick
here.

Riff E x4 (No Palm Muting this time)

And thats it! This is a very fun song to play so experiment and
find new ways to make it sound. Have fun and keep playing!

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 SILVERCHAIR 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.
