Queens of the Stone Age - First It Giveth
Songs for the Deaf
Tuning: C-F-Bb-Eb-Ab-C
by Nick Paliocha
Note: Josh Homme has a very improvisational style compared to most metal bands of today. I have one or two variations tabbed out, but if you learn the basic riffs for the song, you can make your own small variations and fills. But I will not waste my time picking out every one of homme's variations.

After four measures do one of the following:
- Play the same riff with a harmonizer (Whammy pedal or some other thing) set to a Major 3rd or 4 half steps up.
- Play with two guitarists. One plays the above riff, the other plays the same thing a Major 3rd or 4 half steps up.
- Play the same riff except replace each single note with a major triad
For example:
---- -4-
-5-- becomes -5-
