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
