Artist: Primus

Album: Frizzle Fry

Song: To Defy The Laws Of Tradition

Guitar transcribed by CAM.

I've looked through the guitar tabs for Primus and saw that

most of the songs are missing and the existing ones need some

corrections, both minor and major.

All the Primus tabs I'll do will just give you the basic

structure. Listen to the song to figure out the strumming

pattern: use a funky style. Basically, if you're searching for

Primus tab, you MUST have the albums.

Again, listen to the song and use this tab as basic structure.

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

Intro:

Fade-in to first notes (v>)

e--15----------------------------------------------------

B--15p14----------------------------------------------

G------------------------------------------------------------

D------------------------------------------------------------

A------------------------------------------------------------

E------------------------------------------------------------

e------------------------------------------------------------

B------------13w-12\-------------7---8---9-------------------

G---15w--------------------------7---8---9-------------------

D---14w----------------/9--------7---8---9-------------------

A---13w--------------------------5---6---7-------------------

E------------------------------------------------------------

Basically, there are a few different sounding structures for

the verse. I'll give you the structures and you can put them

together by listening to the song. All the notes sound better

if you slide up and down between them, and use alot of muted

string strikes. Get funky.

#1: Play this first bar a few times, then before the singing

starts, use bar#2.

e--12----10----9-10-9-----7-----9-10-9-----7-----9-10-9------

B------------------------------------------------------------

G--9-----7-----6-7--6-----4-----6-7--6-----4-----6-7--6------

D------------------------------------------------------------

A------------------------------------------------------------

E------------------------------------------------------------

#2:

e--12----10----9-10-9-----7-----9-10-9-----------------------

B------------------------------------------------------------

G--9-----7-----6-7--6-----4-----6-7--6---4/6---6b--15t--6r---

D------------------------------------------------------------

A------------------------------------------------------------

E------------------------------------------------------------

During the singing, the verse is basically #3. Play it like it

is. After the pauses when Les sings, ("the child, or..."), etc.,

the first note back into the verse starts on the 12th fret,

[highlighted with a (!)] first on the G, then later on the D for

the next verse after he sings "would surely..."
