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
