Hit the Floor - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted w/fuzz, cocked wah, and lo-fi) Guitar 2 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) Guitar 3 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) Guitar 4 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) Guitar 5 - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Distorted) *Note* All guitars on this track are PRS Custom 24's. Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. The guitar on this song is pretty basic. Guitar 1 does the softer parts in the intro/verse/bridge, it has a very odd tone that the band never really managed to replicate when the song was played live - I've had the best success replicating this tone using a fuzz pedal combined with the usual Ibanez LF-7 that the band was known to use for lo-fi effects around this time, as well as using a wah in the toe-up position to get that really weird "throaty" kind of sound. Guitars 2 through 5 double each other for all the heavy parts, with the exception of the initial "pickup" to the riff at the end of the intro and verses, which is just played by Guitars 2 and 3. Single notes and powerchords are really all this song is, with a couple sus2 chords in the post-chorus riff. During the outro, there's a bit of a "chopping" effect on the guitar part in one spot, I've used a sub-staff notation for the 4 chords where that effect is present, rather than adding extra guitar tracks to the tab. When they played this song live Brad didn't bother trying to recreate the sound of the "chopped" chords, so you don't really have to bother with them either if you don't want to. The very last chord has also been edited to drop in pitch very quickly (it matches Joe's scratch at the end, so it's similar to the sound of a turntable slowing down). I've notated this as a downward slide in parentheses, obviously you can't slide down from an open chord like that but if you have a whammy bar you can just press it in really quick to lower the pitch, or if you have a pitch shifter pedal (such as a Digitech Whammy set to the "divebomb" setting), you can use that. Brad used a pitch-shifting preset on his G Major rack processor for this during live performances. One other thing to note, watch out for the open Db5 chord at the end of the post-chorus right before the outro, it's not there the first time that part is played earlier in the song.
