Artist: Primus Album: Sailing The Seas Of Cheese Song: Jerry Was A Race Car Driver Guitar transcribed by CAM. Like in American Life, this song uses volume alot for the car sounds. I'll mark increased volume like this: v> Play along with the song to know when to play verse, chorus and intro riff. Good luck with the solo! h =hammer on p =pull off b =bend string up / =slide up \ =slide down v =vibrato x =muted string strike w =whammy Intro: e------------------------------------------------------------ B---x-------------x------------------------------------------ G---x-6/7--5\-----x-6/7--5\---------------------------------- D---x-6/7--5\-----x-6/7--5\---------------------------------- A---x-------------x------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------------------ Repeat this riff as necessary: (intro riff) e------------------------------------------------------------ B----------16----16--------15----15----15-------------------- G--/14--14----14----14--13----13----13----13----------------- D------------------------------------------------------------ A------------------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------------------ For car sounds, increase volume, then use your whammy bar to decrease the pitch.
