Official M.C. HAMMER Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song: YOU CAN´T TOUCH THIS
Artist: MC HAMMER
Album: PLEASE HAMMER, DON´T HURT THEM
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com
Standard tuning
Comments: I forget who requested this but here it is. The main
Riff is based on Rick Janes old song Super Freak and comes in
two variants. Since I didn´t find any pattern to how they are
used (I just listened to the song once) I´ve just listed them
here. Alternate them at will. The second part, the breakdown,
is harder to play because this "bass" is played by a synth on
the album. The line though is here. Make sure those hammer-ons
and pull-offs are fluid.
Key:
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb = pre-bend
r = release-bend
t = tap with righthand finger
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = Vibrato
* = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
x = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
Tp = Tap w\plectrum

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 M.C. HAMMER 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.
