Song: YOU CAN?T TOUCH THIS

Artist: MC HAMMER

Album: PLEASE HAMMER, DON?T HURT THEM

--------------------

Standard tuning

Comments: I forget who requested this but here it is. The main

Riff is based on Rick Janes old song Super Freak and comes in

two variants. Since I didn?t find any pattern to how they are

used (I just listened to the song once) I?ve just listed them

here. Alternate them at will. The second part, the breakdown,

is harder to play because this "bass" is played by a synth on

the album. The line though is here. Make sure those hammer-ons

and pull-offs are fluid.

Key:

/ = slide up

\ = slide down

b = bend (whole step)

b^ = bend (1/2 step)

b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)

pb = pre-bend

r = release-bend

t = tap with righthand finger

h = hammer-on

p = pull-off

~ = Vibrato

* = Natural Harmonic

#(#) = Trill

x = Dead notes (no pitch)

P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)

Tp = Tap w\plectrum
