Melvins - Roman Bird Dog/hung Bunny guitar tab
Roman Bird Dog/Hung Bunny
The guitar is tuned accordingly, from low to high: C#,F#,B,E,G#,C#.
|------3-------7/9------2---------------------3---|
|--2---3---2---7/9--2---2--2---3--3--3--3--2--3---|
|--2---1---2---5/7--2---0--2---3--3--3--3--2--1---|
|--0-------0--------0------0---1--1--1--1--0------| repeat this many times.
Then go to the next section:
|------3-------7---|
|--2---3---2---7---|
|--2---1---2---5---|
|--0-------0-------| This is where Dale starts pounding
Hold the last chord until the band proceeds:
|--------7-----------7-----------7----------7-------7---------|
|--2-----7-----2-----7-----2-----7----2-----7---2---7----2----|
|--2-----5-----2-----5-----2-----5----2-----5---2---5----2----|
|--0-----------0-----------0----------0---------0--------0----|
The last chord above is where Dale does the cymbal roll and it turns CHAOTIC!!!
If you listen close to the recording, after this chord is held for a short time,
Buzz starts playing the main riff of the SECOND SONG, and it is as follows:
|---------------------------------------------------------3--3--3--
|---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3--3--3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3--3--3--
|---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3--3--3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-1--1--1--
|---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1--1--1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------
The above is the main riff under the vocals for the entire song except the chorus
and end. The last chord should bend to resolve with the first chord in the above.
It should be repeated (four or six?) times, and then the chorus section comes in
with:
|------------------------
|---5----------------0---
|---5-----3----------0---
|---3---3---3--1--3--1--- Hold this last chord for a shortime, until the vocals
are almost over for the "chorus" section. On the last "word" that Buzz sings
(whatever that may be), this muted section comes in. I have notated the chords
to be palm muted with x's under the chords, and the section is as follows:
|---------------3--3-3---3---3-----------------3------7---8/9---
|--2--2--2--2-2-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3---3--7---8/9---
|--2--2--2--2-2-1--1-1-3-1-3-1-----2-2-2-2-2-2-1---3--5---6/7---
|--0--0--0--0-0--------1---1-------0-0-0-0-0-0-----1----0-------
|--------------3------------
|----2-2-2-2-2-3--3---5-2---
|----2-2-2-2-2-1--3---5-2---
|--0-0-0-0-0-0----1---3-0---
Now that you have gotten this far, go all the way back to the section of
"Main riff Under Vocals" and do it all again.
The only difference is that on the second time thru, the last two chords
in the line above are replaced with:
|-------------------
|-------------------
|-------------------
|--0-nh12-----nh12-- The nh12 means natural harmonics on the 12th fret.
Proceed to the next bar:
|-----------------------------------------7-------10--9---
|--2--2-2-2-2-2-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-7--2--3-10--9---
|--2--2-2-2-2-2-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5--2--3--8--7---
|--0--0-0-0-1-0-0--0--3-0-5-0-3-0-3-0-3-0----0--1---------
|----------7--6--7--8-9------
|--8-9-8-7-7--6--7--8-9--2---
|--------7-5--4--5--6-7--2---
|------------------------0--- Repeat this as needed and when Buzz starts
singing again, the chords are as follows: (NOTE: the last chord of the
above diagram should be held to join the first note below):
|----------------7---9---7---
|--2-------------7---9---7----
|--2----6~~~-----5---7---5----
|--0--------------------------
To conclude this masterpiece, the bar is as follows:
|--9--8--7-----------
|--9--8--7-----------
|--7--6--5-----------
|-------------nh12---
Hold that natural harmonic, and let your amp build up feedback, and, voila!
Into Infinity!!
