BULLET IN THE HEAD ? LIVE SOLO
By RATM
Album: Rage Against The Machine video
Transcribed by Adam Poulsen and John
This is the live version as heard on the self-titled video.
Tom pretty much used this solo (with a few variations) for the whole ?96 Evil Empire tour.
Step one - Turn on the wah, unplug the lead and tap against the metal parts on your guitar while rocking the wah.
The timing isn?t perfect.
Step Two - The normal playing starts here
w/Wah on full treble

Then play this faster bit, which is based on the Dorian scale..
Wah off
Tom drops out of beat a bit on this lick, so it may be easier to just skip a note.
