This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

The Family and the Fishing net

Primus (well, their cover)

Rhinoplasty

tabbed by Bazz/billiejoe2000@hotmail.com

Though very weird (typical Primus), this is actually

a really good song, expecially when it gets going, and

being as i myself am a Les Claypool wannabe, i thought

i'd contribute to all the other tabbers out there, so here

ya go

( i'm not gonna tell you where to play the parts, just

what to play, it shouldn't be hard to work out where

they go)

*Les uses some effect, i don't know which one, i tried

wah and it doesn't seem right, so i prefer to use

'flange', just use what ever you got really

/ - slide up

\ - slide down

h - hammer on

x - mute
