They took this one off for some reason, so I put it back up.

Song: Dig
Band: Mudvayne
Inst: Bass

Tabbed by:Greg

If you want to actually hear my tabs, download Guitar Pro 4, (one of those tabbing
programs) and you can download all of my Mudvayne tabs on www.mysongbook.com!!!

Hey guys, I got a ton of time on my hands now so now I'm gonna tab every Mudvayne
song I know because I've never seen a tab on the net thats close to how I play em.
So I figured I'd start with good old Dig.
Another thing, I play lead guitar and I've been playing for about 6 years now, but
I love playing Mudvayne on bass. So I just learned every Mudvayne song off the new
album, and now I can tell what the bass lines are almost exactly, maybe its because
I know what the guitar's doing, and I can kinda "cancel out" the guitar sound. So if
anyone has access to guitars n stuff, I suggest you try it. It helps a ton.

And if anyone has any questions, comments, or requests, please feel free to email me
@ pelvic_thrust2001@hotmail.com or if ya want, add me on msn and I could play some
stuff through the comp, so ya know how it sounds or if your confused or anything.
THX

Ok, anyway less talk, more sweet Dig tabs.

Oh yeah, If you wanna see a sweet Dig video (It shows Ryan like the whole verse, real
close up) go on Kazaa and download Dig Live in Germany. Its by far the best Dig video
I've seen, besides live of course.

Tuning:
E s=slap this is like the only mudvayne song that has
B p=pluck consistent timing, so I put in the 4 beat thing
F#
B

Intro (I spread it out more so it doesnt get so cluttered)
v = 4 beats (to make it even easier)

Thats the whole song, again if you have any questions, comments, requests, please
email me, or if you are confused or need me to play a part for ya, add me to your
MSN thing if ya want, I dont mind

Thanks for checkin out the tab
Greg


If you need me to play the fills like slower or something, so ya know how to do them,
(now that i know em like PERFECT), talk to me on
msn, and hopefully you have speakers so i can play for ya!!!


If you have the dig dvd, i strongly advise you to change the angle (so it shows ryan
the whole time) and watch the studio fills, you WILL SEE that they're dead on.

He does some of the fills different live so here they are)

its about how something is trying to change mudvayne (who cares WHAT it is) and its getting under their skin, and the assisted suicide part is saying how they wanna kill whoevers trying to change them and it would please mudvayne to help them kill themselves

shifty, i think the assisted suicide portion in the middle is being sung from the point of view of someone tryin to change mudvayne, like say a critic. kud is simply using this satyrically to represent what they really mean when they tell u what u want to hear, in this case, theyll ruin u, help u kill yurself career-wise, and then dig and bury u in the remains, leaving u forgotten.

Alright you guys are reading way too far into the "assisted suicide" part. I love Mudvayne, but all their really saying is they want this person to go the fuck away and die while their at it!
