Tenacious D é uma banda americana de rock formada na Los Angeles, California, Estados Unidos em 1994, por Jack Black e Kyle Gass.
A popularidade da banda se deve principalmente ao estilo nada ortodoxo e humorístico das canções compostas por Black e Kyle . O estilo musical do grupo é descrito como descomprometido. Como exemplo, na música Tribute um dos refrões é "Rrrigga-gyu-gyu Rrrigga-gyu-gyu", um solo de guitarra verbalizado.
Em 2006 foi lançado o filme 'Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny' que conta a história do grupo.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

OKAY!!!! Here are all of those parts that i mentioned before. I tabbed them the way that i play them and it sounds good so try it. It isn't far from how the d play it. My friends and i play this song evertime we get together as a tradition, since its the only one they know all the words to we usually end up doing it 6 or 7 times throughout the night. If you want me to figure out any other songs let me know cause i'm fairly good at it.

Section III: This is a basic blues riff with a hammer on and then a bend on the E6 and the A6. » means hammer-on and ˆ means bend. D---------------------------------2---2--2»4------2---4ˆ(½step)--------------- A--2--2--2»4--2--4ˆ(½ step)-------0---0--0--------0---0---------------------------- E--0--0--0----0--0-------------------------------------------------------------------
Section IV: This part is tabbed the way i play it because the rythm is inconsistent if you listen to the song and that makes it hard to play the riff and sing the song at the same time. Pay attention to the number of times each note is played, it will help with the rhythm. The hammer ons are short and staccato, and the bend is strummed several times while still bending. » means hammer-on and ˆ is bend. D------------------5»7(x2)---7ˆ(½step)--(Play x3 while bent)--------------------------------- A----5»7-(x5)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Booyahhh!!!! Well that is all the effort i feel like putting into this damn thing. I am tired of it, it is a great song and all but you know. I have played this at College talent shows and at parties and people love this, so if you need a song this is the one. I know some chords to other Tenacious D songs but not many, if you want me to try and figure them out, let me know. I am experienced in guitar, although i am only 18, and i mostly get into a lot of blues and old school rock, like hendrix, zep, neil young, so if you want to know about some guitar than email me at [email protected]. That also goes for questions, comments, complaints, suggestions, errors or anything else you do or don't want to bitch about. Laters for now, much repect to Tenacious D and http://www.sidehatch.com for the lyrics.
