is that honey bucket tab right?

You mean the one in the wiki? I always felt the main riff in that one isn't all that accurate, but maybe that's just me. I for one play it like that:

A --7--4--7--5--6--0-0-0-0-1-0-1-0-0-0----
D --7--4--7--5--6--0-0-0-0-1-0-1-0-0-0---- etc.
Thank you sooo much! I've been playing the wiki tab all week and trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with it. I'll look at your interpretation after I get out of lecture.

I made a recent change to the Manky tab on the wiki however I goofed it and saved it when it jarbled. I'm the original creator and is there a way to table it like so on the wiki?

Manky by the Melvins on the Maggot album

This song is fairly simple if you understand the emphasis and expression of the song. This tab is original and my work alone. E-mail me if you'd like to help work on tabs for this album. ZiggyandGiggy@yahoo.com

Main riff:
E|---------------------------------------------------------
B|---------------------------------------------------------
G|---------------------------------------------------------
D|--0-00-0-00-0-0-0-00--0-00-0-00-0-1-1-1------------------
A|--0-00-0-00-0-0-0-00--0-00-0-00-0-1-1-1------------------
D|--0-00-0-00-0-0-0-00--0-00-0-00-0-1-1-1------------------

PM .. .. . . .. .. ..

After you do that as needed for the lyrics when you get to "but that shit keeps coming round". Depending on if you are playing with 2 guitarists' then have one do the main riff under the the neat little solo or whatever it is.

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:

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"

does anyone have the tab to breakfast on the sly?

And does anyone have "SEE HOW PRETTY, SEE HOW SMART" from The Maggot.

So this is how I think Electric Flower will sound when 'The Bride Screamed Murder' comes out

This is pretty close, but I know there are a couple of places where I didn't really know. And I just skipped the rest of the solo because I couldn't hear it through my laptop speakers. Any feed back or suggestions would be appreiciated.

hi melvins people

I'm curently trying to nail the evil new war god song (awesome name) and I need someone to help me with the second riff. The tuning is down to C so I'm having trouble identifying anything.
I tabbed the rest, it was pretty easy but this is my first one so tell me if I did something wrong.

and thanks for electric flower
this album rocks

Cool, I was going to try this song or pig house this weekend. I will check out that 2nd riff when I get home. I should be getting my headphones back too, so maybe I can actually figure out the electric flower solo (shitty laptop speakers + delay + mp3 = jibberish to me)

Did you take a look at my electric flower tab? How accurate did it sound to you?

Edit: I threw your tab up on the wiki http://www.themelvins.net/wiki/index.php?title=Evil_New_War_God check it out make sure it looks good to ya, I had to put dashes between the '~'s for wiki formating.

Awesome, thanks for looking at my tab! Yeah if you log in to the wiki you can edit it right there.

Does anyone know of tab notes for the drum solo on the first track of HAT? I'm trying to play that and have not been able to find anything. Any help appreciated.

Skinhorse · June 08, 2010, 11:30:03 AM

Hello all! I've been trying to nail down the Honeybucket tab based on http://www.metalkult.com/videos/melvins-lesson/ and was wondering in particular about the little run down part that Buzz does after the D# (i.e. the last 10 notes of my tab). Does the following look/sound correct to you fellow guitarists?
