About Tomorrow - Xvive

Silverchair's "Tomorrow" is one of the more approachable grunge songs to get under your fingers, but a few details deserve real attention before you call it done. The song sits in Eb Standard tuning, meaning every string drops a half-step, so tune down before you even think about playing along. At 120 BPM the main riff has a locked-in, almost mechanical feel that rewards tight picking and clean muting more than speed. The core riff is deceptively simple to play sloppily and genuinely satisfying to nail precisely, so use the Practice Toolbar to loop it at a reduced speed and focus on muting the strings you are not playing. The Grunge style here leans on a thick, down-picked rhythm tone, so getting your pick attack consistent is as important as memorising the notes. Once the muting feels automatic at a slower tempo, bring the speed back up gradually rather than jumping straight to 120 BPM.

• The song uses Eb Standard tuning, so all six strings need to be tuned down a half-step before playing along.
• The main riff relies heavily on palm muting and consistent down-picking, making right-hand control the primary challenge to practise.
• At 120 BPM the groove is steady enough that looping it slowed down is a great way to lock in clean string muting.
