tabbed by Doug Cartwright
for the first 2 minutes or so, improvise in a Buckethead style as covered
in some of my previous tabs (notably Ballad of Buckethead), before going
into this main riff:
E--------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------
G-1-1-1---------------------------1-1-1------
D-2-2-2---------------------------2-2-2------
A-2-2-2---------------------------2-2-2------
E-0-0-0--0-0-2p0-2p0-2-0 let ring-0-0-0------and so on
Vibrato the second fret bends after the 1/2 or 1/4 bend

Fills and Solos:
Unless you're some kinda tabbing genius, you're not gonna be able to work
out Buckethead's fills. Therefore, my best advice is, as nearly always with
Buckethead, improvise. The verse
is on A, the main riff/intro is on E, and
the bridge bit is on a B. Plenty of speed, effects, technique-heavy
noodling, more effects and more speed are what you're aiming for to create
that lush "My name is Buckethead and I can do anything and it still sounds
good" kind of sound. Hope this helps.
