Primus - The Heckler

Tabbed by Jesse Sudich.


I have tabbed this version of this awesome song using the ANTIPOP
secret song recording.

The bends with ^ above them are pinched harmonics.  These harmonics
reach extremely high pitches and create those really crazy notes in
the chorus. Ler does something else but this is basically it.  To
sound them the note is fretted at the ninth fret and then pinched
harmonic The node point for the pinched harmonics is situated about
nine and a half (9 & 1/2) Centimeters from the bridge.  The solo is
not that accurate but it's close.
