More about this title

About the Artist: Disturbed

Disturbed emerged from Chicago's metal scene in the mid-1990s, building a reputation for heavy riffs, powerful vocals, and unflinching lyrical content. The band has consistently pushed the boundaries of modern metal, combining groove-oriented rhythms with aggressive guitar work and dynamic arrangement.

Why we love this

Disturbed's catalog offers guitarists access to contemporary metal writing that rewards both technical precision and interpretive aggression. "Avarice" delivers the kind of riff-driven material that keeps advanced players engaged while remaining teachable in a private studio or ensemble setting.

What to expect

Heavy and propulsive, "Avarice" hits with the kind of controlled intensity that defines modern metal. The guitar work sits in the pocket between aggression and precision, demanding focus and delivering satisfaction when played with conviction.

Who it's for

This TAB is ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists exploring modern metal repertoire and looking to develop their understanding of contemporary songwriting and production. Players interested in studying Disturbed's approach to groove, tone, and arrangement will find concrete material to analyze and perform.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock into the pocket by listening closely to the drum groove; metal timing hinges on rhythmic precision with the kick drum and snare.
  • Balance muting clarity with sustain on palm-muted passages to maintain definition without sacrificing the heavy tone the song demands.
  • Let the dynamic arc breathe; resist overplaying dynamics and allow quieter sections to reset listener attention before building back to peaks.
  • Reference the original recording to internalize phrasing and articulation choices that distinguish this arrangement from similar riff patterns.

How to use it

Include this in a solo recital or ensemble program to showcase a player's comfort with contemporary metal and modern songwriting. It works particularly well in a mixed-genre program, offering stark contrast to classical or jazz material.
