Minutemen - This Aint No Picnic guitar tab

Your rating:

#
Hey, how's it goin.  I'm a huge Minutemen fan and there isn't enough of

tab of them on the net.  This is a great song off of the Double Nickels

On The Dime CD, and you can also find it on Ballot Result.  My band did

a cover of it on our demo tape.



The intro is the only tough part...

                                   hold this

                                     chord



I'm not even going to try to indicate the strumming, it's really fast.  You

can get it by listening to the recording.  Here are the chords:

      E?     and    C?

D------6------------8------------------------------------------------------

A------7------------7------------------------------------------------------

E--0-0-0------------8------------------------------------------------------



Just strum them and get the clicks in.  The name of the chords is something

like E7#9 or something, but people I know usually just call it "that Hendrix

chord."  That's the verse part, and the chorus is just drums.



C?  Hey mister, don't look down on me

E?  For what I believe (etc.)



It goes intro-verse-chorus-solo (over verse)-verse-chorus



the outro is just E- --0000000------



I just use the E-Pentatonic scale on the twelth fret for the solo...

I'm sure d would approve



Here's the Bass



For the intro, just stand there and look cool.  When the guitarist starts

slamming on E?, the second bar come in with G---/9 and hold it.

Then go into

  C?                              E?

I think it varies a little bit, but Watt is real hard to tab.  Enjoy, and

e-mail me with some more Minutemen, DK, or Living Colour tab if ya get any.
