On The Tweek Again

By Primus, from the Album "Tales from the Punchbowl"

Tabbed by Nathan Welton (Snark@rain.org)

Hi folks.

Guitar : Ha ha ha. What's a guitar?

Bass : Les uses a 5 string on this ditty, and I don't have one.

Chances are that you don't either, so to make up for this descrepancy

I downtuned my E string to a D, and this tab is based around that tuning.

He also uses his whammy bar, and I don't have one of those either. That's

why the D always wobbles. If you really must have this, I suppose you

could downtune to a D flat and wiggle the 1st fret (and also adjust the

tab), but that won't sound too good and probably won't be good for the

bass.

Key : / or \ is a slide

WHM is where I think he's using his whammy (you can just

hit the

open string twice.

So, before doing anything else,

DOWNTUNE YOUR E STRING TO A D

Intro :

|------------------|
|------------------|
|-------2-3--------|
|-0-3-5-----0-5-7\0|

Main part :

|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------------|
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------------|
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----2-3---------|
|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-----5-7-0 WH|

The main part repeats and intensifies until about

2:10 (the end of the guitar solo), at which point

we hear a modified turn around :

|-----------|-----------|-----------|----------------|
|-----------|-----------|-----------|----------------|
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----2-3--------|
|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-----7-7-WH-|

He kind of twiddles around on the D for a while and

then he goes back into the main part again until about

3:20 or so, when he uses the above modified turn around

and skips up an octave.

|-----------------------|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|-----------------------|
|---------------------5-|---------------------5-|

|-55555-55555-55555-8---|-55555-55555-55555-8---|

|-----------------------|-4-5-------|
|-----------------------|-----/7-/7-|
|---------------------5-|-----------|
|-55555-55555-55555-8---|-----------|

You he dwindles around on the D again and drops back into the

main part for a while, goes up the the octave part and ends on

the low D.

NOTE: I don't know which makes more sense to you... I put the D

with the whammy at the end of each bar. You might think it goes at

the beginning. Whatever. Have fun!
