Fear Factory - Scapegoat
from Soul Of A New Machine (Roadrunner, 1992 A.D.)

Guitarist    - Dino Cazares
Tuning       - B E A D G B E
Equipment    - ESP guitars,
               Marshall amplification

Scapegoat displays some swift motion
of the triad powerchord shape, though
perhaps not as fast or as mental as
Cyberwaste but requires just as sharp
co-ordination. The chorus uses 3rd-down
bass notes below the A octave chord to
add dreamy and spacious feeling to the
melody. Stretch down with the middle
finger for these and be sure you can
fret the major-3rd bass note quickly
and effectively.

Key
PM  - Palm mute (for duration of _'s)
/   - Tremolo Picking (highlighted note)
... - Hold until fade
