Song: Electric Uncle Sam Atrist: Primus - Les Claypool Tabbed By: Matt Estlea Intro: Part 1 In this Les uses the double thumb technique in order to achieve this sound. You can use a pick but it doesn't look as impressive. G:----------------------------------| D:-7-6-5--7-6-5--7-6-5--7-6-5-------| X4 A:----------------------------------| E:----------------------------------| Intro: Part 2 Use the back of your nails in order to strum all four strings. If you have no nails (much like myself) just slap the A string with your thumb vertically and hit as many strings as possible.
