Black Flag Due to the helpful advice of one of the readers on this Newsgroup, I have figured out what I HOPE to be the correct way to play "Black Flag" by King's X. Note the "E" is tuned down to "D" (helpful advice). E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------3---3--------0--------3---3--------0-0x-3x-1x-0---3---3--------0-| A|--------3---2--------0--------3---2--------0-0x-3x-1x-0---3---2--------0-| D|-0-3/-0-3-0---0-3/-0---0-3/-0-3-0---0-3/-0---0x-3x-1x-0-0-3-0---0-3/-0---| ^ ^ E|-----------------|| This is for the beginning of the song and the refrain. B|-----------------|| What follows is the variation used for the lyrical G|---------0-----0-|| section of the song. Refer to the "^"'s above. D|-------0-----0---|| G|-------0----------|| A|-----------------|| D|-----0---0--------|| D|-0-2-3-----1-----|| A|------------------|| D|-0-3-------0-1~-0-|| ^ ^ ...and now, the tab for the lead-in to the refrain. E|---------------------------------------------------------------|| B|---------------------------------------------------------------|| G|-2-------------2---------------------------------------2-------|| D|-2-3-3---3/5-5-2-3-3--------0---12-11-10-8-3-3---3/5-5-2-------|| A|-0-3-3---3/5-5-0-3-3--------0---12-11-10-8-3-3---3/5-5-0-------|| D|---3-3-0-3/5-5---3-3-0-3/-0---0-12-11-10-8-3-3-0-3/5-5---0-3-1-|| ...and finally, the tab for the "It's... what's up... with ME..." part... E|-------------------------------------------|| B|-------------------------------------------|| G|------------0-----0-2----------------------|| D|-0-3-5----0-----0---2-0x-3x-0x-2x-1x-0-3-5-|| A|-0-3-5--------------0-0x-3x-0x-2x-1x-0-3-5-|| D|-0-3-5--2-----3-------0x-3x-0x-2x-1x-0-3-5-|| I hope that this is right, and that my new TAB notation is legible. I think that it's a good system, because it allows for tuned-down or -up strings, bends, and other things. Let me know what you think. -MetalMaster P.S.- If you know King's X, a heavy, wooden, bass-laden guitar sound should sound best with this song. Bon guitar-age!
