PRIMUS - On the Tweek Again 
Tabbed by Nathan Welton (snark@rain.org). 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Guitar : Ha ha ha.  What's a guitar?



Bass : Les uses a 5 string on this ditty, and I don't have one.

Chances are that you don't either, so to make up for this descrepancy

I downtuned my E string to a D, and this tab is based around that tuning.

He also uses his whammy bar, and I don't have one of those either.  That's

why the D always wobbles.  If you really must have this, I suppose you

could downtune to a D flat and wiggle the 1st fret (and also adjust the

tab), but that won't sound too good and probably won't be good for the

bass.



Key : / or \ is a slide

      WHM is where I think he's using his whammy (you can just hit the

      open string twice.



So, before doing anything else,



                        DOWNTUNE YOUR E STRING TO A D



Intro :

|------------------|

|------------------|

|-------2-3--------|

|-0-3-5-----0-5-7\0|



Main part :

|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------------|

|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------------|

|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----2-3---------|

|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-----5-7-0 WH|



The main part repeats and intensifies until about

2:10 (the end of the guitar solo), at which point

we hear a modified turn around :

|-----------|-----------|-----------|----------------|

|-----------|-----------|-----------|----------------|

|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----2-3--------|

|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-0-WHM-|-3-5-----7-7-WH-|



He kind of twiddles around on the D for a while and

then he goes back into the main part again until about

3:20 or so, when he uses the above modified turn around

and skips up an octave.



|-----------------------|-----------------------|

|-----------------------|-----------------------|

|---------------------5-|---------------------5-|

|-55555-55555-55555-8---|-55555-55555-55555-8---|



|-----------------------|-4-5-------|

|-----------------------|-----/7-/7-|

|---------------------5-|-----------|

|-55555-55555-55555-8---|-----------|



You he dwindles around on the D again and drops back into the

main part for a while, goes up the the octave part and ends on

the low D.



NOTE:  I don't know which makes more sense to you...  I put the D

with the whammy at the end of each bar.  You might think it goes at

the beginning.  Whatever.  Have fun!

Contrary to popular belief, Les plays this song on his six-string fretless. The way he achieves the tremelo sound is by constantly sliding back and forth. On the staff, I’ll put where you slide to and from, below the staff, I’ll put the fret number that you should pluck the string on when you slide past. Still with me?
