heavy, heavy, HEAVY metal...from Eddie Hazel. This album has some
other heavy grind on it (check out "Super Stupid"). Flea and former
RHCP guitarist John Frusciante called Funkadelic "heavier than Black
Sabbath" in a Guitar Player magazine interview a few years ago.
Intro words: Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time, for y'all
have knocked her up. I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the
universe, and was not offended, for I knew I had to rise above it all,
or drown in my own SHIT...
The arpeggio guitar is clean Strat (I think), neck pickup (or center
and neck), and turn the tone control down to 5 or so? The lead is
probably Strat as well, running a distortion or fuzzbox --> wah -->
delay (or reverb or both), something like that.

...then solo like crazy over E pentatonic. The arpeggio is a lot of
fun to jam to. Go, Maggot Brain...
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 FUNKADELIC 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.
