Title: Black Masks and Gasoline
Artist: Rise Against
Album: Revolutions Per Minute (2003)
Instrument: Guitar
Tabbed by: anarchypeach ([email protected])
Tuning: Standard (EBGDAE)
Notes: Here's the tab, I'm 99% sure that the notes are correct, so far I've got
everything but the 4th chorus time (I'm having ahard time differentiating the two
guitar parts, if *anyone* knows how it goes, please e-mail me and you will be credited)
Also, throughout the whole song, 2 guitars are used, where one keeps playing the heavy
parts to keep the whole song heavy. However, it sounds absolutely fine with one guitar.
Anyways, in the tab is equal to 11.
Have fun and enjoy, it's a great song to play.

Bridge (1st and 3rd time)
Note: During the bridge, in the first measure of the 3 powerchords, the little squeaky
effect between the chords is created by lifting your weight on thje string so you are
only touching it a little bit, then strike the low e. Add some distortion, and there you have it.
