Chop suey ver 8 — System Of A Down

Ok... this is my first time tabbing but this should be easy since i got these tabs from Daron himself - no joke. I know that there are a lot of different versions of this song out there, pick whichever you think sounds the best. And yes, this is pain stakingly(sp?) long

Thanks to: Daron Malakian and Serj Tankian for lyrics and tabs

Thre it is. The entire song, in order. Cresendo's and decresendo's... ect... Basically all I recommend to use for playing this is a chorus pedal or amp effect, a disortion pedal, and an acoustic effect pedal (or an effects pedal with all of them in it). Have fun, I also have the bass tabs, if anyone wants me to add them, e-mail me. [email protected]
