Primus - Golden Boy

Tabbed by Luke Fields. **



This is the 4-string version of golden boy that's a bit easier to read
There's alot of percussive muted pops and slaps, and I marked those as
Xs.

This song is fairly easy to play, it can be played on a four string,
but there will be a few notes missing.  Since I have a six, that is
how I will tab it.

That's about it. For the guitar solo, the bass plays the intro riff again.

This is the way I play the Golden Boy main riff on my 5 string. I
think it is more accurate than the others on this page.  It sounds
better, anyways.

s=slap
p=pop
h=hammer on

rhythmic notation (on bottom)
h=half note
q=quarter note
e=eighth note
s=sixteenth note
