and try to throw in the Jerry-esque:

e|-------------------10-12-14-|
B|----------10-12-13----------|
G|-10-12-13-------------------|

wherever it fits, in whichever position it fits. And play it
super-fast, man.

Primus - Groundhog's Day

Tabbed by Matt Wilkinson.


Here is "Groundhog's Day".  I really don't feel like tabbing out the
whole song, so I'll just throw the different riffs at you, and you can
figure it out for yourself.

The Chords: Les plays about 50,000 different variations to the main
riff.  Just kinda mix it up.  You'll be able to hear when Les makes
the chord changes.  When you stum, use that good 'ol flemenco, but
only use your index finger-- it gives it a less "powerfull"
sound--much cleaner.

G||--15--|=ring         G||--15h17--|=pinkey    G||--14--|=ring
D||--14--|=index        D||--14-----|=index     D||--12--|=index
A||--15--|=middle       A||--15-----|=middle    A||--14--|=middle
E||------|              E||---------|           E||------|


G||--14--|=ring         G||--14--|=ring
D||--13--|=index        D||--12--|=index
A||--14--|=middle       A||--13--|=middle
E||------|              E||------|

Chorus:  This is just played with quarter-note chords, except the fills

G||--12--|--11-11\12--12--|--11-12-12-15--|
D||--11--|--10-10\11--12--|--10-11-12-14--|
A||--12--|--11-11\12--13--|--11-12-13-15--|
E||------|----------------|---------------|

Funkey Part: On the "2-*-*-5" part, make it a slide, but keep slapping
in 16th's.  Sometimes you might hit the same fret twice, but that's
alright--different variations sound cool.  Just make sure you keep the
rythms and time correct.

A:--4-5-6-8--7--777777777--|--4--5--6--|   with these notes
E:-------------------------|-----------|

"Videoplasty" solo section: The stuff Les does in this part of the
song is impossible to tab out, so I'll just through some stuff out on
the table.  Here's a simple, 8-note scale to mess around with.

G:------------4-5-6--|
D:--------4-6--------|
A:--4-5-6------------|
E:-------------------|

Most of the time, Les is just doing rolling 16th notes, with note
changes on the A string.

Les puts in a little fill here...
