This is as best as I can make out this song, but it sounds right. You guys are leaving out some pops. It's played on a 6-er, but you can do it in dropped-D. -------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------2----------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- --2----5----0-2-5-0----2-------2--0--5----0-2-5-0------- You can pop-------------------------------------^ this G on the D string occaisionally, I think he does that. -------------------------------------------------------- -----8-------8----------------7--------6------5--------- -------------------------------------------------------- -/8-----0-/8---8-8-0---/7-----0-/6---6-5-------0-------- This is as best as I can make out the chorus. There's also a little fill that Les does every once in a while, usually after he says "shake hands with beef".

I'm no tab expert, but I think the basic riff Les Claypool uses on
Shake Hands with Beef needs a few ghost pops thrown in. The version
I've been playing throws a few extra bits like slides and hammerons
etc. Give it a go and mix these into your favorite version. Happy
slappin.

None of the tabs on your page seemed right for this song so I made my own. It's like them but it does work better. I just got my bass yesterday so dont make fun of me if it's wrong. The rhythm is messed up a little but just play with the song and you'll get it. s-slap h-hammer You only need to use the 3 low strings so thats all I made tab for. a---------------------------5-----------------------------------------------5-- e------------------------------------------------------------------------------ b--s5---s8---s5--h8--------s5----s5-s5---s5-s5-s8---s5-h8-----s5---------------

This particular song as been modified for a 4 string but it is played
on a 5 as seen on the Conan O'Brien show. This is an approximation of
what the song is really but it sounds good.
The tuning for this song is:
1=G
2=D
3=A
4=D

Why did everyone seem to get this sooooo far off. I expect many tabs to be wrong but not that far off. Oh well. I think this is as close as you can get it on a 4 string with no effects. chorus and main riff G|---------------|------------------------------------ D|---------------|---3*------------------------------- A|----0--4-------|----------0--4---------------------- E|-2-------2-2-0-|-2----2-2------2-2-0---------------- Repeat this with a little improvising.

G|-------(5)----|--------------|---------- D|--------------|-------(7)----|---------- A|-3-2--3---3-2-|--------------|---------- E|--------------|-5-4--5---5-4-|-0-------- This is basicaly it with a few extra pops and imrovising here and there.

This is the best way I've found to play the main riff.
