🎸 The Heckler tab by Primus

Artist: Primus
Album: Suck On THis
Song: The Heckler

Guitar transcribed by CAM.


Here's the correct tab for this song. It sounds great
with a bass player doing the wierd bass line along with
the guitar. Just for fun, I added the bassline you can
play on your guitar. Quick fingers are very helpful for
this song. Learning Larry's solos is a headache.
Everybody say: 'Larry, you're a bastard!'
Play along with the song to get the feel and know when
to use the verse and chorus. Good luck with the solo!

h =hammer on
p =pull off
b =bend string up
r =release bend
/ =slide up
\ =slide down
v =vibrato
t =tap with strumming hand
x =muted string strike
w =whammy


Bassline:
e------------|------------------------------------------------
B------------|------------------------------------------------
G------------|------------------------------------------------
D------------|------------------------------------------------
A------12\---|------9---9/12p10p9\---9------------------------
E---/13------|----7---8------------7---8----------------------


OK, for the verse chord, use your thumb for the low E
string. Repeat this chord over and over until the chorus.

Verse:
e--------------x---------------------------------------------
B--------------2---------------------------------------------
G--------------3---------------------------------------------
D--------------5---------------------------------------------
A--------------4---------------------------------------------
E----------3-------------------------------------------------


The chorus gets a little tricky, so try and be fast. Repeat it
as many times necessary, adding little changes to the highest
notes on the B and high e strings.

Chorus:
e-----------15br--------------------------18br---------------
B-----------14br--------------------------17br---------------
G------------------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------14----------------------------17---
A----------------12/13-13----13----------------15/16-16----16
E-13p12-0-0---------------------13p12-0-0--------------------


For the solo, repeat each bar as needed.

Here's where it gets insane. I'll break the crazy part of the
solo down to three parts.
