Melvins - Charmicarmicat guitar tab

Charmicarmicat

TUNING: DADGBE

Legend: Any note sepatated by a slash(/) is a "drop bend".

That means that the note would be bent BEFORE picking and then

dropped from the sharp pitch to the fret's regular pitch.

The song starts off with a ripping, low volume, super-crunchy

ball of feedback which lasts for the first 2 minutes of the song.

This feedback can be obtained by using anywhere from 2 to 4

distortion pedals AT ONCE!!.

Superb amounts of volume aren't needed because the pedals take

care of the feedback job at whatever volume you're at.

For the first 2 minutes of the song, lay low and rub your hands

along the strings

while the distortion pedals do the bulk of the work.

Then head into this smoothly and quietly:

Riff#1:

-----------------------------------------!

-----------7----------------6------------!

--0-1---0--5-------0-1---0--4--0-0-0-0-0-!

--0-1---0----------0-1---0-----0-0-0-0-0-!

Play this riff a few times, then do this:

------------------------------------------!

---6--------------------------------------!

-----4---------------------------5--------!

------------------------------------------!

After 4 of those, you'll head into this main riff:

--------------------------------!--------------------------------------!

--------------------------------!--------------------------------------!

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-!----------6/5----6/5--------6/5---4---!

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-!-0-0-0-0------0-----------0-----0---0-!

The parts between the exclamation points in that last section are

repeated while each verse sluggishly moves by. While Buzz

sings, play this:

17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-!

16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-!
