Ghost

For the most part it's all:
G |-------------------------------------------
D |--------7---------------------7-----------
A |------7---------------------7-------------
E |---5---------5-5--------5----------5-5---
That repeats a lot. Im not sure of the slap section, but when they come back in from that little break and Trey's pick slide, it's:
G |-------------
D |---5---7---
A |------------
E |-----------
Thats all the important stuff
Eric Oberbrockling offers a different view:
While what u have is basic, it is all in the technique (and that phat bottom end!!!) SO, unless you got a lotta rack gear, get a 5 string.
Here's what I make of it, and this sounds alot closer to the album...the slides are kinda iffy timewise -
G -----------------------------------------------------------------
D -----------------------------------------------------------------
A -------------------10h12--------------------10/12----------------
E --------8/10--------------------8/10-----------------------------
B --10-10------10-10-------10-10-------10-10--------10-10----------
Ok, as you can see, this is tabbed for a 5-string. If you don't know
how to transcribe it to a 4 string, you shouldn't play bass.
When playin the A octave (12th fret on A string) variate between sliding and hammering .. it sounds like all hammers on the album but you can hear some slides too...this is the technique I think Mike defintely uses and if u got a 5 string, that A on the B string just fuckin blows your mind!!!

B ---------------------------------------------------
That's the change to D, very simple. I have no idea what the slapping
part is because I am a guitarist and not a bassist and I cant play like Les Claypool =)
