Questions, Comments? Write me at WARREND@IHS.ISSAQUAH.WEDNET.EDU WHERE BOYS FEAR TO TREAD Transcribed by Adam Morris 1/2 step down (Naturally!!) Intro...Play around a bit. Lots of palm muted E's in there. Starts with a palm-muted slide from about 6 down on the low e-string Main Riff |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |-3/5------------------------------------------------| |-----4-4-0-0-0-0-1-1-3-3-3-3-3-3--------------------| Other bit in Verses. |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |-3-2-1-0-1-0-1-1-1-1-1------------------------------| And that is actually all that is played through the whole song..easy or what? Anyway..sounds pretty close. Tell me what you think benmo@deakin.edu.au -=--==-=--== Where Boys Fear to Tread - Performed by Smashing Pumpkins Written By - Billy Corgan Transcribed By - BUGG_SUPERSTAR@S-GRIFFIN.COM * Tuned Down - Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb * This is a pretty easy tune of the new album, throughout the whole song there are only two riffs. I will show the two, and you can figure out the rest for yourself. I have seen other attempts at this song, but I think this is the most accurate.

This is my first transcription, so please write me with and comments and suggestions at BUGG_SUPERSTAR@S-GRIFFIN.COM. Enjoy :)
