Man, I'm just on a Chevelle kick today I guess.  If you've ever heard this song, you 
know that these guys can rock!!  This is all instrumental, just a 2-minute intro to  
Point #1.  It's not too hard, here it is! 
 
Drop-D Tuning 
 
OPENER... THING... 
E|---------------------------| 
B|---------------------------| 
G|---------------------------| 
D|---------------------------| 
A|---------------------------| 
D|-0000-3-000000-3-000000-3--| 
   palm mute all of this... you get the idea. blah blah play that 
    over and over again.. then do this: 
 
umm.. SLIDE RIFF 
E|------------| 
B|------------| 
G|------------| 
D|------------| 
A|------------| 
D|-3/14-14-14-| 
(no palm mute) 
you have to slide from 3 to 14, it's a really cool effect.  just hold out 
the note on the 14th fret for.. what.. 8 bars?  sometimes he'll do a slight bend 
near the end of the 8 bars. 
 
then play that first thing again, you go back and forth between those two riffs there. 
then there will be a break where the high-hat plays 8 times, then the guitar does 
this: 
 
BANG YOUR HEAD RIFF 
E|--------| 
B|--------| 
G|--------| 
D|-0--0-0-| 
A|-0--0-0-| 
D|-0--0-0-| 
(no palm mute) 
okay it's not really a riff.  but you play this for 8 bars, and then 
go play the "slide riff" for 8 bars, blah blah, switch back and forth, you got it. 
in the "bang your head riff" you need to really kick the first stroke, and then the 
next one is like a pickup-stroke.  i hope that makes sense. 
 
Anyway, that's it.  This entire tab will make no sense to you unless you've heard 
the song and are listening to it right now. E-mail me with corrections, yeah you 
know the drill.
