Track Number: 14
Track Length: 4:00

Drop D Tuning (low to high: D A D G B E)

KEY:
... = Palm muting
/   = Slide up
 
Cool song...took a while to get this one out ... got halfway and realised its tuned down to A!. Stuff that ... sounds just as good here in Standard Drop D. But if you do use A or have a seven string guitar just play the heavier parts lower than in this tab. Even if you use C tuning that could come in handy for the middle section. Just be clever, see what i have written and rework it into your tuning. But it is tabbed for drop D ... dont worry still sounds just like the cd. 

INTRO: theremin style riff (not guitar)

NOISE (outro): Buzzo is rubbing his strings rapidily with the side
               of a pick, similar to a pick scrape but on the non
               coiled strings. ie: the G, B and e strings ... but
               really its just noise ... do anything.
 

WOW, that was a big one but lots of fun to play.
requests, constructive criticism appreciated
thanks
