Song: YOU CAN´T TOUCH THIS Artist: MC HAMMER Album: PLEASE HAMMER, DON´T HURT THEM -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com Standard tuning Comments: I forget who requested this but here it is. The main Riff is based on Rick Janes old song Super Freak and comes in two variants. Since I didn´t find any pattern to how they are used (I just listened to the song once) I´ve just listed them here. Alternate them at will. The second part, the breakdown, is harder to play because this "bass" is played by a synth on the album. The line though is here. Make sure those hammer-ons and pull-offs are fluid. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) Tp = Tap w\plectrum Verse version 1 G|-----------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|--5----3--2--0---------------2--0--------------| E|--------------------0--3-----------------------| Verse version 2 G|-----------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|--5----3--2--0------2--------2--0--------------| E|-----------------------3-----------------------| Breakdown (repeat 4x) G|---------------7h-8p7p5------------------------| D|--7--7-------7----------7----------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| < - - 3x - - >
