Artist: Guttermouth
Song: Looking Good is All That Matters
Album: Covered with Ants
Tabbed by: Luke Rounda <vluker@notus.com>
One of Guttermouth's apparently very unappreciated songs. I haven't seen
a tab for it anywhere, and it's not one that many people talk about, so,
here we are. This is my first tab; please don't injure me.
Crank it up! Screaming punk distortion throughout.
<x> - play the harmonic on fret 'x'
h - hammer-on
p - pull-off
x - mute string
~ - let ring
PM - palm mute
Standard Tuning E A D G B E
intro/main riff
e|-----------|---------------------------------------|
B|-----------|---------------------------------------|
G|-----------|-----6-h7p6---6-h7p6-------------------| Play 6x for intro,
D|-----------|---7--------7----------6-7----4-5p4----| 4x for interlude
A|-----------|---------------------7------5----------|
E|-<7>~~~~~~-|---------------------------------------|
Basically, hit the 7th fret harmonic and let it ring for a few bars,
then punch in with the song's powerhouse main riff, which is mostly
shown here. This should give you a pretty good idea of how it goes. It
took me a few tries to get the picking rhythm right, but once you get
it going, WHOO!

PM...................
The rhythm is somewhat shown, but you'll have to figure out the exact
strum yourself. Suffice it to say IT'S FAST.
The song ends with the first part of the main riff (on the D and G
strings)
being played over and over.
This is all my own original work.

I'd appreciate any feedback.
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 GUTTERMOUTH 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.
