Poetry and Prose-Primus (off of the beavis and butthead experience)

Aw well most of this is wrong I think... but at least it's close. 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--8p\7---7p\6---6p\5---5p\2-----|
|----------------------------------------------------------------|

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.
