      I've made this song for two guitars for some reason after having 
some exotic greenery.  The timing may not be perfect but I've got the 
way Adam plays it pretty much, I've just added a few more licks.  
Experiment with it...

Tool - Schism
Guitar tab
Drop D (no shit)

     Fluctuate your volume on this part.

Riff 8
B---------------------------8--
G----------9------------9-------
d-------3-----------3-------5---
A-0h3h5----7---0h3h5----7-------
D--------0---0--------0---0---0-
     Go back to riff 6 and 7 together after playing this eight times
     Lead guitar should have a solo along with this.
     
     Both guitars play riff 7 and end with a hard open A.

Riff 9
d-14----17----14-----19----12----14----10----12--10--12----

     Repeat, um........somewhere above 2 times

e----3-----5-----0---------------    End it   B-10
B-5-----5-----3-----1---3-------   with this  G-9
G---------------------------5-4--     chord   d-7
     This is played along with riff 9         A-0                                   

Riff 11
d-14----17-----14----17----14--14---

     Play 4 times, then enter...

Riff 12
G----------------------2----     After the     -7    instead of    -2
d---10-----5-----12----2-----       third      -7                  -2
A-8----0-3---0-10----0-0-----       time       -5                  -0

     This is just a little harmony with Maynard.  You play riff 12 then 13, 
then 12, then 14, then 12 again.
