Making Plans For Nigel

PRIMUS - Making Plans For Nigel

I'm glad someone finally started putting PRIMUS tabs in here. I would have

put some in a long time ago but since no one else had I figured that there

weren't many Primus fans out there who played guitar. But hey, who cares?Ler

kicks Ass! Just as much as Les or Herb, so heres the first tab that I'm going

to contribute: Making Plans For Nigel off of the Miscellaneeous Debris EP.

I added the rythm so if you can't understand that stuff disregard the

doodling above the TAB:

q = quarter note 1 beat)

8 = 8th note (Half beat)

Rst = A rest

q+8 = quarter note plus an 8th note (1 and a half beats)

h = half note (2 beats)

h+8 = half note plus an 8th note (2 and a half beats)

h+q = half note plus quarter note (3 beats)

OTHER STUFF:

h = hammer

p = pull

It starts off with just drums and then the Bass and Guitar enter. for the

first part the guitar Ler just plays one riff repeatedly (I'll call it Riff

A):

Rst q h

E)-------10---10----

B)-------10---10p8--

For the next part Ler switches riffs to What I'll call Riff B:

8 q q+8 q

E)----7----------------

B)--------8---10--p8--

After playing that a few times he plays this once (hell, why not call it riff

C):

h h h h

E)-----------I-----------

B)----7---8--I-9---10---

Then he plays riff B twice:

and then this (Riff D) twice:

q h+q

E)-------------------

B)----6----6h7-------

And the he repeats it all until after riff C at the bridge when he plays this

(lets call it riff E) twice every third measure:

Rest q h

E)---5---5-------

B)---5---5-------

after playing that a while the guitar and bass stop for a breif drum segment

and then after Les Screams, he and Ler enter, Ler playing Riff B.

THen the guitar and drums stop and Les does a little solo, then they all play

together till the end, Ler playing Riff B twice, then Riff D twice, then Riff

B twice, etc. etc.

to sum it all up:

drum openning

Riff A a zillion times

Riff B a few times

Riff C once

Riff B twice

Riff D twice

Riff A a zillion times

Riff B a few times

Riff C once

Bridge: Riff E a few times

drum interlude

Riff B a zillion times

bass solo

Repeat 2 riff B's, then 2 riff D's a zillion times

fade away
