Song: YOU CAN?T TOUCH THIS Artist: MC HAMMER Album: PLEASE HAMMER, DON?T HURT THEM -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com Standard tuning Comments: I forget who requested this but here it is. The main Riff is based on Rick Janes old song Super Freak and comes in two variants. Since I didn?t find any pattern to how they are used (I just listened to the song once) I?ve just listed them here. Alternate them at will. The second part, the breakdown, is harder to play because this "bass" is played by a synth on the album. The line though is here. Make sure those hammer-ons and pull-offs are fluid. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) Tp = Tap w\plectrum Verse version 1 G|-----------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|--5----3--2--0---------------2--0--------------| E|--------------------0--3-----------------------| Verse version 2 G|-----------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|--5----3--2--0------2--------2--0--------------| E|-----------------------3-----------------------| Breakdown (repeat 4x) G|---------------7h-8p7p5------------------------| D|--7--7-------7----------7----------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| < - - 3x - - >
