If you follow this tab, you will not be able to play it perfectly.
This is my own perception of how Adam Jones wrote the tab, I have
next to no idea if it is however, correct. Enjoy.
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
song: Stinkfist
band: Tool
album: Aenima
tuning: drop D
(DADGBe::RE LA RE SOL SI mi;7th fret on 6th string (thickest)
has to sound like 5th string on air)
..............................................................................................
NOTE: This tab is based on the cd track song.This tab is my own work, but I have been
helped by looking many other tabs of this song along the internet.So after comparing
all these sources and hearing to the song for thousands of times this is what I can
offer.I hope you enjoy! This is a relatively easy song to play because it's downtuned
to D, so at least for me the hardest thing was to getting the timing. I've tried to
represent on this tab any little variations or details that i could hear so you can
reach to sound 'a little bit'more like Tool,this is the cause of it's size.
Nevertheless, I'm afraid that we're several lightspeed years far away from that
(at least me!). I've specified the whole riffs of this song including the time when
they start. I've also copy-pasted every riff even if it was repeated from above, to
make the reading easier.
Anyway, have fun 'cos that's what the music is about.

G----------4------4-4--4------4-4-------- X 4 Actually I don't think that this

A---------------------------------------- In my opinion, is Danny(the drummer)
D----2-2------2-----------2--------2----- who plays these notes recorded in some
electronic stuff on his drumkit.

before starting with the main thing, the guitarrist plays some
harmonics that i could not figure out(sorry).

ok, I know that it seems quite long but don't panic 'cos they're just the same few riffs
played with little variations.
I wanted to specify every single part for making
it easier to read this tab...
...so till this point, the bass line is basically the same as
the guitar thing (or that's what I think).
Remember to downtune your bass to drop D (DADG::RE LA RE SOL)
Now comes the strange part of the solo, and bass does like this until I tell you:

That's all I can say.Be patient, this song is not hard to play.
If you have better ideas for this song or you wanna discuss
about any Kyuss,RATM,Tool... song or you just have any interesting
thing to say you'll be wellcome at:

And that's it. I'm 95% sure that this is all correct. It took me forever to do so I
you enjoy it. Other tabs I've done: "The Pot (ver 5)" by Tool, "Fall Into Sleep (ver 5)"
Mudvayne, and "Rain Sun Gone" by Mudvayne.
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
I haven't really checked but i think this is the only tab online that offers tab for
the intro and the whole song CORRECT. This tab sounds perfect to me!
IMPORTANT! I tried my best to space it so one - is a 32nd note, OMITTING THE FIRST
It may not be perfect but i tried.
Weird intro w/dist. USE YOUR THUMB FOR EACH HARMONIC! This part is kind of confusing so
and you will get it.

On the 5 bend it is a half bend and half a measure later it drops to a quarter bend.
and a half later it goes back to 5 for two measures with feedback and guitar rests for

Play a whole chorus but instead of bending the last 5 on the a string, hold it out until
kicks in.
Thats it! i'm sure it is right so use this tab!
Thanx. Please rate.
