This is my guitar tab for der golem
as interpreted by the amazing
band that is fantomas. After seeing this performed live in perth
i have learnt some cool things on guitar from watching buzz.
Speaking of which i think this song has a very melvins feel to it.
ok...the tuning is a pain
its in B, so you may need to change your string gauge
Buzz plays in standard B, but to save tuning down that far
i have tabbed it in drop d B (if that makes sense).
Just saves having to tune down the other 5 strings another step.
6th= B 3rd=E
5th= F# 2nd=G#
4th= B 1st=C#
ala shitknot
INTRO: buzz plays chords but i like
to save that for the heavier bit!

"THE CREATURE
WALKS!!!!!!!!"
GOLEM/FOLLOW? BIT: this bit is
really cool and involves picking
the strings behind the nut (ala radiohead,nirvana,
etc) to get that noise chime sound.
note: this is from seeing buzz live, just strum it hard like a chord
let it ring well but get the cuts real
accurate. Just remember the
pattern ( 1,1,2,2,1,2,5)
1 1
2 2 1 2
