Baker Tabbed by Cam Joyce (djoyce@axionet.com). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey all you Primus fans I've been out sailing the seas of cheese and I bumped into Sgt. Baker. I'll tab it the way Jeffery Swing has on many of the other Primus tabs. I've got everything down except a few of the variations he does during the verse, I'll indicate where. During the last bar of the bridge you will need a whammy bar, or you can simply bend the string back and forth while playing. The only icons I'll use are: p-pop s-slap v-strum (Les Claypool's flamenco style) - when nothing is indicated finger pluck r- rest This is played very smoothing (like a walking bass) G----------------------------------- D----------------------------------- A-----7--------------------7-------- E-0-0---7-6-5-3-0-321/12-0---7-1s--- This is play 3 times over (I think, maybe 2) G----------------------------------- D----------------------------------- A-----7--------------------7-------- E-0-0---7-6-5-3-0-321/12-0---7-2s--- G----------------------------------- D----------------------------------- A-----7--------------------7-------- E-0-0---7-6-5-0-3-321/12-0---7-2p--- This phrase comes in right away (listen to the C.D.)

The other variants in the song are all related to the pieces above so when you here something like after he says "I said right" , it all coresponds to what's already there. As far as the quick little solos he throws in goes just try your own thing, I usually, on the first solo, slide up after playing the first 3 notes to about the 20th fret on the "d" string, and on the second solo slide down from about the 20th fret to the 7th really fast on the "g" string. Trying your own thing always seems to work better. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRIMUS - Sgt. Baker Tabbed by Juha Mustonen (turant@freenet.hut.fi). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I`m not saying that I am good at playing bass, but I decided to suggest another kind of way to play the first part of song, called "Sgt. Baker". It may be wrong, but when I tried to play your version of it, it sounded terrible ! So, if this one helps at all, here it comes: G--------------------------------------------------------------- D-----------2---------------------------------------2----------- A---------------3--2--1--0---0-2-0-----------------3-------0---- E---0-0--------------------------------2--4----0---------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRIMUS - Sgt.
