Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Shackler's Revenge

Tabbed by: NSiYusuke.
Tuning: Bb,F,Bb,Eb,G,C // A#,F,A#,Eb,G,C
Comment: Ahah, I'm just a huge Buckethead fan, and since no one else's tab was accurate,
I just had to try my own hand at it. The tuning is really weird, though, so that took a
time to figure out. It's likely incorrect here and there,
but I'm trying my best.


INTRO:
(I have no idea how this is playable by one guitarist.)

(*Note: I really can't decide if you should use a whammy effect for the weird "elephant
chord during the intro.
If so, it'd be best to set it to +1 octave. It's up to you.)


INTRO 2:

---------------------------------------------------------| (x2)

*Let the normal sound of each of the notes play for half it's duration
before flicking the pedal up an octave. Makes a 'wave'/pulse in pitch, sort of.

This is the backing part to the chorus, above.

That's all for now, but I'm constantly working on it. Hope you like it/can improve upon it!
