I feel sorry for this poor, under-used subforum,. And since i just spent the last 20 minutes playing Supermassive Black Hole over and over again to try and get that bloody
B|-----7br-p5-h7---
A|------------------7
bit right, i thought I'd post up some tabs for the whole thing. I wrote these, and originally posted them on Musewiki. I used the code box because it has a regular font (all characters the same size), and so works better for tabs.
This song is broken down to three main riffs, intro, verse and chorus.
Intro:
e|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
G|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|
A|-----10--------10---------|
E|--0-----0--0-0----0--0*0-0|
This is played 4 times, and on the fourth time, go from the * to:
e|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
G|--------------------------|
B|-----7br-5h7p5------------|
A|---------------7----------|
E|--------------------------|

(Matt plays it as above, I prefer to play it like this.
e|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
G|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|
A|-12br--10h12p10-----------|
E|-----------------12-------|
)

Verse
e|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
A|------10--------333--------10--------553----------|
E|0--0------0--0--555--0--0------0--0--775----------|

e|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
A|------10--------333--------10--------557----------|
E|0--0------0--0--555--0--0------0-*0--779----------|
Play through twice, and on the second time go from the star to:
e|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
G|--------------------------|
B|-----7br-5h7p5------------|
A|---------------7----------|
E|--------------------------|
Play all that twice over, then play:
Chorus:
e|---------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------|
B|----7-----7-7-6-----5---------------9-----8-7-5--0-------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------|
E|5-5---5-5-------3-3---3-3-5-5-6-7-7---7-7-----------2-3-4|
Play this throughout the chorus.
For the second verse, it's all bass, with two Em chords. Listen for the timing.
Em:
eDGBAE
000220


The studio version of the solo is a crazy mishmash of effects, trills and slides that are well beyond my ability to work out, let alone tab.
Live Notes:

When Matt does the solo, riff two is played in the background. Unless you have an effets processor the size of Jupiter, chances are you won't be able to do what Matt does on the album (hence why he does a Kaoss Pad solo live)


LIVE NOTES

Matt plays the intro live like this.
e|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------|
B|---------------------10-10-9---|
A|-----10--------10--------------|
E|--0-----0--0-0----0*-----------|
Again, repeat four time and go from the star on the fourth repitition to the next bit (see above)

For the second verse, Matt usually plays:
e|------------------------------|
B|------------------------------|
G|------------------------------|
D|------------------------------|
A|---5~~~~~~~-----7~~~~~~~------|
E|-0------------0---------------|

Live, Matt generally doea a solo on the Kaoss pad (the only time I can think of a proper guitar solo is Shepherd's Bush 2006, off the top of my head), and I'd need to lsiten to that again to even attempt it, and I don't have it on this computer. After the Kaoss Pad solo, Matt plays something to the effect of:

(Hold the bend throughout the progression)
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|------5b-5-5-5r----5b-5-5-5r------------------------|
G|------7b-7-7-7r----7b-7-7-7rp5h7p5------------------|
D|--------------------------------------7-7-5-7br-5-5-|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|

For the "SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE" bit, Matt seems to improvise something new every time. The two that are on the BH&R bonus DVD are:
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|--7--5------------------------------------5--5--0---|
E|---------7--6--5--3--0--0--3--5--6--7---------------|


e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|-0-2-3-4-5-7-8-9---0-2-3-4-5-7-8-9------------------|

At Reading 2006, for both bridges, Matt played:
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|---10~~~~~---------10~~~-----10~~~~~-----12~~~~~----|
E|-0------------0--0---------0--------0--0------------|

Please with some feedback, I added a load of stuff from what I put on Musewiki, and I'd really like to know someone read it...

Actually, for the solo, all you need is a good delay, and a bit of volume swell :3 maybe a whammy....
anyways, yeah, I'll post the guitar solo a little later

I play that part like this:


e|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
G|-----2br-0h2p0------------|
B|---------------2-----------|
A|--------------------------|
E|--------------------------|


slightly reminiscent of voodoo child, perhaps?
