John The Fisherman Ver 4 by Primus
Primus - John The Fisherman ver 4 bass tab
Les plays this song, and most others, with a style called
'Flamanco Style'. If u want to learn it i can give u a few
pointers, because with out it, it would be pointless to
learn this song: 1st: ur going to be using the index finger
nail to 'down' strum, in this song u play 2 strings at the
same time, 2nd: as u come down to strum the 2 strings rest
ur thumb on the fingerboard top, and when u do the 'up' strum
use the bottom of ur index finger. Bring ur thumb up with ur
index finger when u do the 'up' strum.
he uses a crunchy distortion on this part with his whammy

He actually does play the 4,5,and 6's as 'EADG' has them
but everything else is correct, i thought this way was
much easier. and Yes ive seen Primus play this song live.
