Song: Buzzard
Album: Never Bet the Devil Your Head
Music by: Subrosa
Tabbed by: db
Okay. I redid "Buzzard" because the last time i did
it the spacing got screwed up and i found some errors. Sonically,
it's all there, but there is an easier way to play it. :)
Standard Tuning. (ha!)
Well, like the rest of the album, the song is one-half step down.
The intro is played with harmonics, running sixteenth notes, but
be careful. The ninth fret harmonics are intended to sound a
perfect third above the open string (these can also be played
at the fourth fret, but i found the sound more resonant at the
ninth.). Being off the fret the slightest quarter of an inch
will give you a different pitch (listen to Alice In Chains "
Again" at the breakdown (doot-doot) part, both of those two
different harmonics are near the third fret.). Well, here goes.
Riff A
E-|-----------------------------|
B-|-----------------------------|
G-|-----------------------------|
D-|-------------------------7---|
A-|---------4--------7----------|
E-|---4------------------7------|
NaturalHarmonics throughout
For the next riff, octaves are used, still using slow tremolo picking
(running 16ths) for 2 beats per note.

For the heavy distorton, it sounds like Tooke uses an overdrive
pedal over a naturally dirty tone in the main channel. For the
verses, Tooke switches off the overdrive and plays straight
through the amp, which is already set to have a slightly dirty
sound. These are the chords to the verse below.
Riff C
___G#m6____E____
E-|-(0)---------|
B-|-(4)----0----| It really sounds like the E is on top of that
G-|--4-----1----| G#6 chord, but I can't be sure how travis fingers
D-|--6-----2----| it...it's implied nevertheless. For simplicity, it
A-|--6-----2----| could simply be picked as the notes not in
E-|--4-----0----| parenthesis.
Then riff A, Riff C, riff B with Fill 1 below :
Listen to song for placement.
