The guitar part for this song is really cool so awhile back I made an effort to figure it out myself and well, being really rough it should be of some help. riff 1 (main riff) |--------------------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------------------| |-9---10--9--9--8--8---7--7---6--6---------9---10---13---13-------| |--------------------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------------------| riff 2 (higher pitched version of riff 1) |----12---13----12--12--11-11--10-10--9--9-------12---13----15--15-| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| Riff 3 (solo thing in begginning after riff 1) this repeats twice |----------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------| |--2---1---2h/3--3h/4--4h/8--8--7--8p7---7p6---6p5---5p2-----| |----------------------------------------------------------------| One of the riffs at the end vibrato~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |---------------------------------| |---12-------11------12------13---| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| this repeats a lot of times If anyone has the correct tab post it... this was done real quick a long time ago so it's just a rough version......Then why post it???? Maybe it'll help someone brainstorm off of it an we can get a real version. Oh well work on it. Once again sorry for posting it so sloppily but there isn't much Primus guitar tab out there so I'll keep on working on Primus guitar tab until it catches on. -------------------------------------------- Golden BBS BBS: 603-886-4563 Nashua, NH Voice/Fax: 603-886-9660 --------------------------------------------
Primus — Poetry And Prose
Here's _Poetry and Prose_ by Primus, from the Beavis and Butt-head album. This is how I play it, most likely not how Les and Ler play it. This is a passable approximation. Feel free to make corrections. And as usual, listen to the album to get the rhythm down. Basically, except for the solo, the guitar is just this riff: |--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |-----------------------------------------------9----9---------------------- |-----9---9----10-10-9-9-8-8-7-7--------9---9---10---10--------------------- |--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |--7-------------------------------7---------------------------------------- |--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, this moves up an octave sometimes. The bass is similar to the guitar: |--------------------------------------------------- |--------------------------------------------------- |------7---7-----8-8-7-7-6-6-5-5-------7---7--8--8-- |--0--------------------------------0--------------- Also, there's another part the bass has: |---9-9-9-9-9-9-10---9-9-9-9-10-11-----9-9-9-9-9-9-10----9-10-11---9-10-11- |---9-9-9-9-9-9-10---9-9-9-9-10-11-----9-9-9-9-9-9-10----9-10-11---9-10-11- |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- |-0----------------0----------------0-0----------------0---------0--------- Or something like this... its kinda hard with no bass here to check.
