Night Of The Slunk - Buckethead
00:00 / 00:00
Tabs and lyrics
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
This is track #6 on Mr.Buckethead's Monsters and Robots album. Pretty cool sounding and
very hard to play. Its in standard tuning so just learn it.

Riff 1 8x
e--------------------------|--------------------------|
B--------------------------|--------------------------|
G--------------------------|--------------------------|
D--------------------------|--------------------------|
A--------------------------|--------------------------|
E--12p0-0-12-12-12p0-0h7-7~|--10p0-0-10-10-10p0-0h8-8~|

Riff 2(with distortion) 8x
e--------------------------|--------------------------|
B--------------------------|--------------------------|
G--------------------------|--------------------------|
D--------------------------|--------------------------|
A--------------------------|--------------------------|
E--12p0-0-12-12-12p0-0h7-7~|--10p0-0-10-10-10p0-0h8-8~|

This is the chorus if you will. This is played with distortion 4x.

e----------------------|----------------------|
B----------------------|----------------------|
G----------------------|----------------------|
D------3p0-------------|------3p0-------------|
A-2-22-3p2-2-2---------|-2-22-3p2-2-2---------|
E-0-00-1p0-0-01h2p1h2p1|-0-00-1p0-0-03h4p3h4p3|

Now play Riff 1 again but only 4x and Riff 2 8x again. NO CHORUS 2nd time.
He goes and plays one of his crazy solos which I haven't figured out yet.
Its in E minor. Now play RIff 1 4x and Riff 2 8x again and play the chorus like normal.

Then this with distortion. (The chord sounds weird but it is right.)

e---0-0-------0--------0-0-------0-----|
B---4-4-----4---4------4-4-----4---4---|
G---3-3---3-------3----3-3---3-------3-|
D-1-1-1-1-----------1--1-1-1-----------|
A--------------------------------------|
E--------------------------------------|

Then this 4x Palm mute.

e------------------------------------------------|
B------------------------------------------------|
G------------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------------------|
E-5-5-5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-1-1-1-1-1-1|

Then play Riff 1 4x. After that he plays an outro solo.

It starts like this and then gets out of my range of detection.

e---------------------------------------------|
B---------------15b17-------------------------|
G-12~12~12~-----------14p12----12--14b16r12---|
D----------14~~-------------14--------------14|
A---------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------|

e-------12-15p14p12-------|
B-15b17-------------15b17-| After this he cuts loose and I get lost.
G-------------------------| If I figure it out or the solo in the
D-------------------------| middle I will post them.
A-------------------------|
E-------------------------|

That's it. I hope you like it. Listen to the song for the rythm and just have fun with it.
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
I didn't do a very good attempt at the solo, meh!
If you can figure out the solo please send it to me @ agentphill@hotmail.co.uk!
Cheers :)
