Tabbed by Jeffrey Swing.
Notes on notation: Since flamenco style strumming is a big part of Les
Claypool's style, I will denote a down-stroke strum (played by
strumming with your picking hand fingernails) with a "V", and an
up-stroke strum (you can use your thumbnail, or the pads of your
fingertips) with a "^". I will try to stick to the faq for the rest
of the notation, (or at least make it understandable). Also, I will
indicate vibrato by writing "/\/\/\/\/\/\/" above the staff. Triplets
will be indicated by "|-3-|" also above the staff, the triplets shoud
be played with three fingers, starting with your ring finger (that's
the easiest way I've found to play them).

Weird thing at 2:06: just play some stuff. I don't want to tab that
part, since I'm not sure about it.
Guitar solo:
I'll start from 2:31. You might have to figure out something by your
own.
