Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel - Delicate Tendrils

Tabbed by Erik Elden.

This is a seemlingly easy song to play, but it isn't easy to play it
with Les' right-on-the-beat rythm and perfection.  Played on Les'
6-string fretted Carl Thompson with a fat sound. All notes are slapped
unless marked otherwise.

h = hammer-on

Comment by Per Arvidsen (arvaasen@online.no).

The notes on delicate tendrils are not slapped. Its some sort of
tapping with the left hand. Les doesnt use the right hand at all on
this song.  He says so him self in an interview in Bass Player.
