Texas In July
Hook Line & Sinker
By: Scott
From: Buffalo, NY
Tuning: Drop C (Cb/B#?)
(open 6th & 4th strings should be tuned
to match the pitch of the breakdowns)
I learned this song in a few hours by ear.
I copy and pasted then corrected a few
mistakes from the other tabs of this song.
I'm pretty sure it's 98% accurate now.
You can figure out all the breakdowns by ear,
it's too difficult to tab them accurately.
Just palm mute the open 4th (If you prefer),
5th, and 6th strings and play along with the song.
Key:
x - Mute String
~ - Hold note out
* - Palm Mute
<>- Harmonic
h - Hammer on
p - Pull off

First technical riff:
(This is a little messy, I don't think I tabbed this right)

|--0--8--5--3--7--|
(Listen to the song
for the correct rhythm)
...Then into a breakdown
The little squeal thing during this breakdown
is called a pinch harmonic, you play this...
|----------|
|----------|
|----------|
playing the breakdown... |-0------0-| ...breakdown continues
|-0------0-| (this is where the
|-0-<3>^-0-| double bass roll starts)
...and you bend the string to make the pitch go up about 1 or 2 half steps

Second Technical Riff:
(Kinda messy again, I don't think it's totally right.
But it's a little better than the first technical riff)
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
|-------7--------------------------------------|
|------7---7h8p7------------10-8----7h8p7------| repeat x 4
|-----8----------8-10---8-8------5--------8----|

...and that's it. Listen to the song a bunch
of times to get all the rhythms and stuff down
and use this as a guide to learn all the riffs.
Hope this helped,
Good luck!
