Night Of The Slunk Tab by Buckethead


This is track #6 on Mr.Buckethead's Monsters and Robots album. Pretty cool sounding and 
very hard to play. Its in standard tuning so just learn it.

Riff 1 8x

E--12p0-0-12-12-12p0-0h7-7~|--10p0-0-10-10-10p0-0h8-8~|

Riff 2(with distortion) 8x

E--12p0-0-12-12-12p0-0h7-7~|--10p0-0-10-10-10p0-0h8-8~|

This is the chorus if you will. This is played with distortion 4x.

D------3p0-------------|------3p0-------------|
A-2-22-3p2-2-2---------|-2-22-3p2-2-2---------|
E-0-00-1p0-0-01h2p1h2p1|-0-00-1p0-0-03h4p3h4p3|

Now play Riff 1 again but only 4x and Riff 2 8x again. NO CHORUS 2nd time.
He goes and plays one of his crazy solos which I haven't figured out yet.
Its in E minor. Now play RIff 1 4x and Riff 2 8x again and play the chorus like normal.

Then this with distortion. (The chord sounds weird but it is right.)

e---0-0-------0--------0-0-------0-----|
B---4-4-----4---4------4-4-----4---4---|
G---3-3---3-------3----3-3---3-------3-|
D-1-1-1-1-----------1--1-1-1-----------|

Then this 4x Palm mute.

E-5-5-5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-1-1-1-1-1-1|

Then play Riff 1 4x. After that he plays an outro solo.

It starts like this and then gets out of my range of detection.

E---------------------------------------------|

e-------12-15p14p12-------|
B-15b17-------------15b17-|  After this he cuts loose and I get lost.
G-------------------------|  If I figure it out or the solo in the
D-------------------------|  middle I will post them.

That's it. I hope you like it. Listen to the song for the rythm and just have fun with it.
