Meat Puppets is an American rock band formed in January 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona. The group's original lineup was Curt Kirkwood (guitar/vocals), his brother Cris Kirkwood (bass guitar), and Derrick Bostrom (drums). The Kirkwood brothers met Bostrom while attending Brophy Prep High School in Phoenix. The three then moved to Tempe, Arizona (a Phoenix suburb and home to Arizona State University) where the Kirkwood brothers purchased two adjacent homes, one of which had a shed in the back where they regularly practiced.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Intro (Chorus) : G (make sure you hit the G on the High E string for the fingerstyle) | C | B | C | G | D | C
Try to get out the fingerstyle by ear, (i find it kinda pointless to write it out unless it's a guitar pro tab) but if you can't it also sounds fine with just strumming in some kind of the same rythm.
Verse : You can try using C major instead of the add9 chord(and vice versa), whatever sounds better to your ear, but i think this is the more correct way to play it.
So that's basically it, not really difficult when you strum, but the fingerstyle is kinda hard to get for a beginner, i had a half decent way playing it but I don't really know what's going on with the bass strings all the time. for singing along it really does sound fine with strumming the chords. Oh and for the little bridge in the middle it's just an A Major Chord and then on the first time 2-3-5(or open D String) and 2-3-2-3 on the second time on the A-String.
This is my first ever tab transcribed and only by ear, I didn't watch any videos to create it so if you have any suggestions to make it better contact me under : [email protected]
