Tuning:
Primus ? To defy the laws of tradition
Transcribed by James Lindsay for 4 string bass guitar (tuned E, A, D, G)
Notes: there isn?t actually too much to this song, the riff will take quite a while to build up to speed, so practise slowly. In the breaks just randomly tap notes on the D string around the high part of the fret board.
Key:
= slide down
/ = slide up
T = Thumb Slap
X = muted note
h = hammer on
p = pull off
S = strum
~ = whammy bar
R = right hand tap
L = left hand tap
