Notes:
- Played on a fretless 6-string
- One thing that you notice about this tab are
the right hand decending tap mutes, it is much
easier to play once you see it done on the live DVD
- Again watching the Hallucino-Genetics Tour DVD will
help greatly in understanding how Les plays this song
R - Right Hand Tap
L - Left Hand Tap
x - Mute Note
- Slide Down
(-3-) - Triplet
Pre-Intro: - Delay
- Les uses a Boomerang Phrase Sampler to create
a reverse loop from this riff on most live versions
- This riff can vary of course
