Primus - Laquerhead
Standard 4 string tuning (E A D G)
Wel it took me long enough but i finally figured how to play this song after watching Les play it a million times in a row. First the EQ settings have to be really low. Boost the bass a lot and take out the midrange and treble until the number 2 setting on your amp. Second, explaining how to play this is not the easiet thing in the world. On the A string slap it twice, muted with your hand over the 3rd fret then pull-off and hold your finger over the 2cnd fret and on the G string, hold the string in between your second knuckle and pop it hard. I know its hard to understand that but its right. also les uses a lil bit of overdrive on the verses. For the lazy people who didn't read this or for the people who didn't understand my explaination of this song, i tried my best to tab it out.
