Tab for jimmy Transcribed by Tom Mallon (tsmallon@syr.edu) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- by Tool There alots of little adlib bits and whatnot in the first verse that I'm not going to tab. These are just the main parts. Notation: / = slide ^ = bend ^r = bend, release ~ = trill/vibrato h = hammer-on p = pull-off |. .| For riffs that repeat, I used the |. .| method of tabbing them. If a riff seems disjointed, that's because you have to play it in an exact loop. The time listed above the riff is when the riff first appears in the song.

I'm not sure what it is. Riff 5 (2:26) (I'm pretty sure at least) E |-----------------------------------| B |-----------------------------------| G |.---------------------------------.| D |.--12-12\-7-7--/10-10--0h8p7--5---.| A |---12-12\-7-7--/10-10--0h8p7--5----| D |---12-12\-7-7--/10-10--0h8p7--5----| The bass goes crazy right after Riff 5. It sounds to me like the guitar is just playing a muted D note at the fifth fret on the A string. Right afterwards, the guitar plays something very similar to Riff 4.
