Audioslave is the unlikely teaming up of former Soundgarden singer
Chris Cornell and members of Rage Against The Machine (minus singer
Zack de la Rocha). This song is from the "supergroup's" first
album, the self-titled "Audioslave".
Guitarist Tom Morello's playing on the verse riff is very minimalistic,
but it does a great job setting the tone for Cornell's vocals. It should
quite easy for even the novice guitar player to learn to play.
Once you get the correct fingerings down this riff should a breeze
to play. It moves very slow at a crawling 61 beats per minute. The chords
above shown above the staff tells use what chords the notes Morello
is playing is from. In the 2nd and 4th measure, hold the the first two
notes so that they will still sound as you play the 3rd note on the
B string.
See the image below as an illustration for the fingerings. The red
numbers at the bottom will tell you what fingers to use in the pattern:
