Cancer Bats - Sabotage (Beastie Boys Cover)
This tab was taken from the Cancer Bats' live session on radio 1, on the 24th January
This isn't 100% dead on, but it's close.
It's very easy and fun to play. Enjoy!

Scott varies the pinch harmonic, it's always on the 5th fret, but sometimes he does it
the G string.

Play and palm mute as many times as necessary, slowly release palm mute and play the 2
shown on the left (the two that aren't palm muted)
And that's it.
I am not posting the order of which to play what part, as it's easy enough to figure
I figured that if you were looking this up, you'd know.
Sorry if the explanations sounded vague at times, I just don't know any other way to put them.
Enjoy!
