This song is played on a six-string fretless bass, but it sounds 
fine with a fretted. Also, the only reason you would need a six-string 
as supposed to a five-string is the harmonic at the end, which 
isn't a big deal.
s: slap
p: pop
^: flamenco strum
h: hammer on

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques

Christian Average	#1 by Christian Tinch at Jan 29, 2007 at 10:58 AM EST
	Les Claypool has a style that is undeniable. Primus in general is an original band. No doubt about it. While the song "My Name is Mud" isn't for everyone, Les Claypool is still an amazing bass player. It all really is just a matter of opinion. This is still no reason to diss on other bass players or Les.

eric Wanna Be	#2 by eric stevens at Feb 5, 2007 at 10:31 PM EST
	But call me Alowishus Devadander Abercrombie. That's long for Mud. ...AHAHA!!! This song rules, and Les... oh my god. Bass was just another part of the band before I listened to this song. This caused the bass to really redeme itself in my eyes.
