Song: Compete
Artist: Stanford Prison Experiment
Album: Wrecreation - 1998
Tabbed & Typed by: Malcolm (BiggieSmalls@hiphopmail.com)

This is the basic way i play it, i haven't played guitar that long so it's not
correct.
Corrections welcome. I would appreciate tabs for any other Standard Prison
Experiment song too.

Standard Tuning (EADGBE)
Intro- They use some kind of distortion pedal that gives it that high pitched
metal sound.. 
And a somereverb or delay.

B-----------------------------------           
G-2-2-2-2--------------------5-5-5-5   	Play 2x
D-2-2-2-2--7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5
A-0-0-0-0--7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3
E----------5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3---------

Verses- It sounds like he's following the standard verses while muting them,
then playing them.
Occasionally it sounds like he's playing the intro instead of this verse, you
figure it out..

Chorus- I think there's a variation in up and downstrokes, and there is a delay
or reverb.
