FU MANCHU - "squash that fly" Tablature
Official FU MANCHU Tablature & Sheet Music »
but I may have missed a couple of notes in the solo. You should tune your guitar to drop D
tuning to be able to play this song and 2 guitars would help too. It’s pretty much piss easy
aside from a few fiddly bits in the solo... this song rocks!! enjoy!!
Key:
*= palm mute
x= mute hit
\= slide
w= whammy bar
~= vibrato
h= Hammer on
p= pull off
b(x)= bend to(x)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official FU MANCHU tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
