Artist: Live
Album: Throwing Copper
Song: White Discussion

To play this bass line you will need to tune your guitar down one half
step. To do this you will need to play a D# on the A string (6th fret),
tune your E string accordingly and tune the rest of the strings to the E
string.

The whole song is in 4|4 time.

Main riff: repeat this over and over throughout the song.

G|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------
D|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------
A|--------|7-7-5---|-5-4----|-4-3----|-3H5----|--------
E|112/1--|-0----0-|-----0--|-----0--|--------|--------

G|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------
D|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------
A|7-7-5---|-5-4----|-4-3----|-S34S5-|--------
E|-0----0-|-----0--|-----0--|--------|--------

G|--------|--------|--------|--------
D|--------|--------|--------|--------
A|7-7-5---|-5-4----|-4-3----|-3H5----
E|-0----0-|-----0--|-----0--|--------

You then play this once at the end of a set for the part that goes
"Though it leaves me quite erect"

G|--------
D|--------
A|-7-5----
E|-----7-0

The last variation is the very loud part after "This is what we said!"

G|------------------------
D|------------------------
A|-5H77777-3-2-0----------
E|------------------------

H = Hammer on
S = slap
= slide up
/ = slide down
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The original file had alot of inherant problems and none of it was used
in the making of this new submission.

True as this is, it's also a point that Live makes chronologically if you pickup with "Peace Is Now" the "last track" on Mental Jewelry (for you who are new to the conversation). "Mr. President I hear by pardon you of all your crimes \ for they are just as much mine". The pession has always been there. :)

This is such a great angle to take for a critique of politics -- instead of insulting the easy target (politicians), Live goes straight for the ones who accept their medium of empty phrases and political correctness (the people). It seems like they're trying to say, stop arguing everything into stalemate and start doing something! Please! Thought not a great song, a great message.

The message is excellent, but I also thoroughly enjoy the song. It's simply astounding all-around.
