The Metal - Tenacious D Tenacious D in The Pick Of Destiny
Tabbed by Captain Planet
Great song, had to tab it! Sounds pretty good to me, please leave comments and suggestions and rate!!
UPDATE: A lot of people have messaged me over the years since I submitted this tab saying that the whole song is in drop-D. That's fine, you can play it like that if you like. I wrote the tab for the main riff in standard tuning because personally I found it easier to play like that. If you don't, then just transpose everything tabbed on the low-E up two frets.
Tuning: Everything up to the Breakdown/Outro is Standard (eadgbe), but the is Drop D (dadgbe).

This bit's in Drop D, so you could play the whole song in Drop D (shifting everything on the E (well, D) string up 2 frets) but I think this part is just played on a different guitar. e|--------------------------------| b|--------------------------------| g|--------------------------------| d|--------------------------------| x2 a|------------/3-2--/6-5--/9-8----| d|--0-----------------------------| (let ring)
Or something like that anyway. Enjoy, and please rate!

I noticed that the tabs so far just gave the chords for the interlude,
the pattern is called "Travis Picking" and is quite is to grasp, just
change the chord and continue the patten.

KG uses very many variations so just use this as a basis.

I’ve seen a lot of tabs for this floating around that are just plain wrong
or don’t even bother to include anything but the main riff. Wrong tabs
and lazy tabbers annoy me. Here’s how the whole song is actually played:
Guitar 1: Tuned to Drop D. Decently heavy distortion on this guitar, I
believe it’s with the neck pickup.
Guitar 2: Standard Tuning, same guitar as Guitar 3 but with heavy distortion and a phase shifter.
Guitar 3: Standard Tuning. Same guitar as Guitar 2 without the effects, Bridge Pickup,
with the tone about half way.
Play the main riff 5 times and go to the breakdown

Guitar 1:
Same guitar that was playing the main riff

d|-2---2-2-5p2-2-2--x----2---2-2-5p2-2-2--*-|
*=Guitar 2 does a pick scrape across the bottom 3 strings.
Bridge -- Why can't anyone get this part right?!?
Guitar 3:
Done using alternate "travis picking" technique where you play with
a flat pick and your middle finger. Takes a bit of practice, but it's
really easy, especially what's expected of one in this song.
Jesus! It's not that hard people, there's just 2 guitars in it....
Any transcription errors are gonna stay there cos I don't feel like
