v ^ h po s p ()
Intro--Played with some really fat reso wah and flange effects. You
can also hear a touch of an actual wah pedal, or it could just be his
trem. Then, I don't think Les puts any more effects on the next part,
and Ler takes over. But I've got the pedals, and it's always fun to
put some major distortion behindit. The choice is yours.

Tap the 16 chord with your right hand, and slide down and play the
chord flamenco-like. On the poped chords, use your middle on the G,
and your index on the D.

Do that kinda thumb spasm to get the full effect on the first two
F#'s. If you have trouble getting that last A in there, you can leave
it out to stay with the beat.

Intensional "mess-up":
Les plays this on his Carl Thompson piccolo, and ithas 29 frets
on it. Les is just doing a silly little trill sliding down.

I think that the previous [Matt W.] tab of this song is a bit wrong. I'm not into super-precise Les tabbing-coz if you want to hear exact versions of Claypool songs-I guess it's better to leave it to him. ;-) Riff B little update: G|----------------------2-----5-5-5-5-5-[or just the C sound]---| D|------------------------4---5-5-5-5-5-------------------------| A|-----3------------3-------3-----------------------------------| E|-0-2---2-etc.-0-2---2-----------------------------------------| Nice scale walk in intro [Riff A] G|-------------------------------| D|-----------22-4----------------| A|-------2-4---------------------| E|-0-2-5-------------------------| Verse: i guess it's more like: G|---------2---------2---------2---------2-3-2-----2------| D|--------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------etc.-| E|-0h2-2-2---0h2-2-2---0h2-2-2---0h2-2-2-------2-2--------| Riff C: I think there's something like this in the end: G|-2/3\2-- D|-2/3\2-- Riff D: it sounds: G|--------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------xx2-xx3-xx4-| A|--------------0h2-0h2-etc.-2h4-2h4-/5-------------| E|-0h2-0h2-etc.-------------------------------------|

Sampler version. For all of you lucky enough to get your
bass-blistered fingers on Primus' new sampler "The Antipop", here is
the medly down on tab. This new set of songs shows a totally new side
of Primus (this would be side number 9 I believe). Like always, I'm
too lazy to tab the thing note-by-note, so just put the pieces
together. I might put the whole thing together someday. Have fun!

v= downstroke of flemenco

h= hammer-on
po = pull-off
s= slap
p= pop
() = optional, or hardly noticable in the the music.
Riff A
Intro--Played with some really fat wah and flange effects. You can
also here a toutch of an actual wah pedal, or it could just be his
trem. Then, I don't think Les puts any more effects on the next part,
and Ler takes over. But I've got the pedals, and it's always fun to
put some major distortion behind it. The choice is yours.

Riff C
You can either plays four 16th notes, or just two eighth notes. The
last A is kinda hard to keep with the beat, so you can leave it out.

In my opinion, the shortest sweetest part of the whole tape--- Primus
gettin' funky!! Keep in mind that this is fast funk--keep our thumb
going even when not nessisary! So give the hammer-ons an extra smack!

There are a bunch of little fills that I didn't put in cause I am a

their tabs.

three fingers like crazy the whole slide until you land into the 3rd
