The Fish

* = harmonic

This song is basically just a whole bunch of tracks on the bass bunched over each other.

Here's the first one:

G|------------12*----------7*-|
D|--------12*-----------7*----|
A|-----12*------------7*------|
E|-12*-------------7*---------|

The second one is pretty quiet and with a wah wah, it's while the first one is going.

G|-----12-12----------12-12---|
D|-----12-12----------12-12---|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|

Then just start playing an open E right when the first 12* starts like this:

G|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|
A|----------------------------|
E|-000------------------------|

The next one is pretty hard to play, and it's in two parts. One:

G|-16---------------14-12-14--12-11-12--11-9-11--9-7-9--7-6--4--6--7--4--|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

And two:

G|-12---------------11-9--11--9--7--9---7--6-7---6-4-6--4-2--0--2--4--0--|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

And after that part come various fills like:

G|-16-16/14-14/12-12/11-11\9-9\7-7\6-6\4-4--|
D|------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|

And a while later he puts in another thing with a wah wah, and I'm not sure how many 
he does each one, but they're really fast:

G|-------00------00-|
D|-222222--222222---|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|

G|-444400444400-|
D|--------------|
A|--------------|
E|--------------|

G|-774444774444-|
D|--------------|
A|--------------|
E|--------------|

G|-12-12-12-12-99-12-12-12-12-99-|
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|

G|-16-16-16-16-12-12-16-16-16-16-12-12-|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|

G|-19-19-19-19-16-16-19-19-19-19-16-16-|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|

And then he just improvises with the wah wah and I get confused and can't figure out 
he's doing. But I can tell you the scale that he's improvising in.

G|-----------------0-2-4-6-7-9-11-12-14-16-19-|
D|-----------0-2-4----------------------------|
A|-------0-3----------------------------------|
E|-0-2-3--------------------------------------|

Enjoy.
