When there are 3 notes together play a triplet. Here's how the riffs go: Main Riff: G----------------10|10|10--11|11|11-------------------------------------|----------------10|10|10-- D--888--888-----------------------------888--888--11|11|11--777--|--888--888----------------------- Play this part 3xs... then G-11|11|11------------------------------------------| D--------------888--10|10|10--10|10|10--777---------| Chorus riff is down an octave (as the toys... go winding down...): D---------------333--444------------------------------|----------------333--444-------------| A-111--111---------------111--111--444--000--|--111--111----------------111--333--333--000--| play 3xs... then Sad part with cello or upright or whatever it is that he's bowing with many variations you'll have to play around with (if you can't improvise what are you doing tryin to play something written by Les Claypool?): Variation 1: Variation 2: Variation to make up for bowed part: G-------------|-------------------|-------------------------------------------| D-------------|-------------------|-------------------------3-4---------------| A-1-1--------|-----111-1------|------------------1-1(or -111-1)---------------| E------1-2--|--------------1-2-|----------------------------------------------| I like to cover the bowed part and the regular part at once like this: Then: G--------------|------------------------------------666--23----| D--------3-4---|----------3-4--444-3---444-3-------------3-----| A--1-1---------|-111-1-----------------------------------------| E--------1-2---|-----------------------------------------------| Variant of main riff: G--------10--10|10|10--11|11|11---------------------------------| D--888-10----------------------------888-888-11|11|11--777------| Listen to the song to get a better idea of the order to play these!

These are just triplets. You can do them with your middle and index, your ring, middle and index, or just a sort of strumming with one sturdy finger like a pick. G------------10|10|10-11|11|11------------------------ D-888-888-----------------------888-888-11|11|11-888-- A----------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------- G------------10|10|10-11|11|11|------------------------------ D-888-888-----------------------888-11|11|11|-10|10|10-999--- A------------------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------------------ A------------888-999------------------------------------888-999----------- E-666-666------------666-666-999-888---666-666------------666-999-888-777- Around the end, he does the chord with the 8 on the A and E. The solo is just variants of E-6-6-1-2- I would suggest doing D-8-8-3-4 every second time to make up for the cello.

Here's the correct bass tab for Toys Go Winding Down.
t= play the note as a triplet (flick the first three fingers of your
right hand on the string)
h= hammer on/off
d= play the string with both fingers at once to produce a full sound
Main part:
G -----------------------------------------------------------------
D ------2t-3t-----------------------2t-3t--------------------------
A -0t-0t-----0t-0t-3t-0t------0t-0t------0t-3t-2t-1t---------------
E -----------------------------------------------------------------
(repeat x3)
and repeat.
Solo part: think of the timing of this song before you attempt this part.

(back to main part) * for these 3 notes play them as a triplet
