Hold that natural harmonic, and let your amp build up feedback, and, voila!
Into Infinity!!

[Kapila]

Worked fine for me.

I'm learning it right now.

I think it goes like this 
but Im not certain...
maybe the bass and guitar are playing different stuff...

[Green Honey]

ooh, the chairman of the pedantic society!

[norecess]

Roman Dog Bird, please!

It's funny a lot of people saw Roman Dog Bird. I also have problems not fucking it up.

Yeah i thought it was called that for about 8 years until i saw the actual place it came from,
some fanclub newsletter i think it was.

here's my definitive version of
Roman Bird Dog/Hung Bunny


updated Sep 2009

Tuning: C-G-C-F-A-D

"Hung Bunny"

First get some feedback on this chord:
|---------
|---------
|---------
|-0-------
|-0-------
|-0-------

And play this sequence 4 times:

  1+a2+a3+a4+a+a+1+a2+a3+a4+a+a+1+a2+a3+a4+a+a+1+a2+a3+a4+a+a+1+a2+a3+a4+a+a
||---------------------------------------------------------------------------

||-0--0--0-/0-----0--0--0-/0-----0--0--0-/0-----0--0--0-/0-----0--0--0--0----
  // - At first play this very loosely   -   Improvise the rhythm a little - \\     
 
  1+a2+a3+a4+a+a1+a2+a3+a4+a+a1+a2+a3+a4+a+a1+a2+a3+a4+a+
|--------------------------------------------------------

|-3-----3--3--3--3----3--3b-0--3-/5---5--5-\6------------

  1+a2+a3+a4+a1+a1+a2+a3+a4+a1+a1+a2+a3+a4+a1+a1+a2+a3+a4+a+
|-----------------------------------------------------------||

|----------------------3-----3--3--3--3----3--3--3b---/7----||
|-0--0--1--1--1--1b-0--3-----3--3--3--3----3--3--3b-2-/7----||
|-0--0--1--1--1--1b-0--3-----1--1--1--1----1--1--1b-2-/5----||
|-0--0--1--1--1--1b-0-------------------------------0--0----||


Then after you've played that 4 times,
instead of playing the last chord, go to the next section.
This is where the drums come in:
|-----------------------------------------------
|-----------------------------------------------
|-5-R-------------------------------------------
|-5-R--------------------0-R-------------------- play 6x
|-3-R--------------------0-R--------------------
|------------------------0-R--------------------

The last chord above is where Dale does the cymbal roll.
After this chord is held for a short time, play the main riff/verse of "Roman Dog Bird", which is as follows:

Play it 8 times first time, 4 times second time:


"Roman Dog Bird"

That's not quite what it is I'm sure since I just kinda played around with what I thought sounded ok since I don't have it written down but that is at least similar.. you could also play it on the d and g strings by the first two frets.

[kurtrip]

I asked my guitarteacher how riff 1 is played and he said it was played like alternative riff 1 in my tab (he said that u can hear it, so..)
(Althoug i find it easier to do it with the 577 powerchord )

[kurtrip]
