song:Stinkfist
band:Tool
album:Aenima
tuning:drop D
(DADGBe::RE LA RE SOL SI mi;7th fret on 6th string (thickest)
has to sound like 5th string on air)
..............................................................................................
NOTE: This tab is based on the cd track song.This tab is my own work, but I have been
helped by looking many other tabs of this song along the internet.So after comparing
all these sources and hearing to the song for thousands of times this is what I can
offer.I hope you enjoy! This is a relatively easy song to play because it's downtuned
to D, so at least for me the hardest thing was to getting the timing. I've tried to
represent on this tab any little variations or details that i could hear so you can
reach to sound 'a little bit'more like Tool,this is the cause of it's size.
Nevertheless, I'm afraid that we're several lightspeed years far away from that
(at least me!). I've specified the whole riffs of this song including the time when
they start. I've also copy-pasted every riff even if it was repeated from above, to
make the reading easier.
Anyway, have fun 'cos that's what the music is about.

intro

G----------4------4-4--4------4-4--------X 4 Actually I don't think that this
D---------------------------------------- part is played by the guitarrist.
A---------------------------------------- In my opinion, is Danny(the drummer)
D----2-2------2-----------2--------2----- who plays these notes recorded in some
electronic stuff on his drumkit.
e---------------------------------------- Anyway, you can play it with the guitar

before starting with the main thing, the guitarrist plays some
harmonics that i could not figure out(sorry).

let ring with smooth bend up
ok, I know that it seems quite long but don't panic 'cos they're just the same few riffs
played with little variations.
I wanted to specify every single part for making
it easier to read this tab...
...so till this point, the bass line is basically the same as
the guitar thing (or that's what I think).
Remember to downtune your bass to drop D (DADG::RE LA RE SOL)
Now comes the strange part of the solo, and bass does like this until I tell you:
