About Your Time Has Come

Few Audioslave tracks lay out Tom Morello's approach as clearly as "Your Time Has Come." The song sits in E minor at 104 BPM in standard tuning, which means there is no retuning to hide behind: the feel and phrasing have to do all the work. The opening guitar figure is deceptively simple, built around a repeating melodic motif that rewards close attention to pick attack and note length. Where players tend to slip is in keeping that riff tight across the full arrangement without letting the rhythm drift or the tone get muddy. If that section gives you trouble, use the Practice Toolbar to loop it slowed down until the picking motion feels automatic. Morello's lead work here also mixes conventional bends with his more unusual toggle-switch and pickup-selector tricks, so when you reach the solo, expect to need both clean technique and a willingness to experiment with your guitar's controls. The Alternative Metal feel of the track demands a confident, locked-in rhythm approach above all else.

  • The song is in E minor and standard tuning, so nailing the tone comes down to pick attack and amp settings rather than any alternate tuning.
  • Tom Morello's lead sections blend traditional string bends with toggle-switch techniques, making the solo a good study in combining clean mechanics with unconventional effects.
  • At 104 BPM the rhythm guitar part is moderate in tempo, but keeping the repeating riff even and consistent across many repetitions is the real challenge.

How to Play Your Time Has Come

Tuning: E Standard · Key: E minor · Tempo: 104 BPM

Use the section loop to isolate a passage, drop the speed below 100%, and set the metronome to 104 BPM to build it up to tempo.

Fender Telecaster
Guitar

Fender Telecaster

Morello uses this 1982 Telecaster on Audioslave's cleaner tracks like 'I Am the Highway' and 'Like a Stone,' where its single humbucker delivers warmer, more open tones than his high-gain primary guitar. The Telecaster's natural twang lets his effects and subtle playing dynamics shine without heavy saturation.

Marshall JCM800

This stock 50-watt head is Audioslave's foundation, with its gain channel providing moderate saturation that Morello pushes via pedal boost for heavy riffs like 'Cochise.' The clean channel remains uncolored, allowing his effects and guitar tone to dominate the mix without amp-based distortion.

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah
Pedal

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

Morello's wah sits first in his chain, shaping the expressive, vocal-like character of Audioslave's lead work and adding dynamic sweep to both rhythm and solo passages. It's essential for his signature technique of blending nu-metal aggression with funk-influenced texture.

Boss DD-3 Digital Delay
Pedal

Boss DD-3 Digital Delay

Running in the effects loop after the amp, this digital delay creates the rhythmic echo effects that add space and dimension to Audioslave's atmospheric moments. It lets Morello layer repeating patterns without muddying his core tone or high-gain riffs.

DigiTech Whammy
Pedal

DigiTech Whammy

This pitch-shifting pedal is where Morello creates Audioslave's most extreme and experimental sounds, enabling artificial harmonics and dramatic pitch drops that define songs like 'Cochise.' The Whammy's creative manipulation combined with his killswitch technique generates the band's signature metallic textures.
