Too many puppies - tabbed by Dantè Primo.
AIM - Xbrilliant_foolX
------------------------
Ok, I'm posting this tab as a gripe; I have seen WAY too many exaggerated/wrong tabs for
this incredibly simple song. I'm
here to set it straight.
In this song les uses his ebony 4-string bass, 'Antimatter', which is in standard tuning,
EADG: like most primus songs.
Bring up your mids and treble until your tone is tinny as hell for this song, and keep the
bass down so it doesn't rumble.
------------------------
^ - Flamenco picking (use even upstrokes and downstrokes)
S - Slap
H - Hammer-on
x - muted note
/ or - slide
, - staccato (play the note briefly)
~ - vibrato
------------------------
4/4 time, but a bit faster... methinks the tempo is around 150.
------------------------
Main riff.
Think of all the notes in this riff above as eighth notes, 1 & 2 & etc, but make sure to follow
the beat of the song
