American Sleep
By Clutch
>From the album Pure Rock Fury
Heres a great song by Clutch called American Sleep. This tab does not show
timings though so youll have to listen to the song to know the exact timing
of it.
Intro this is just feedback and squealing noises.
Then we go into Riff 1:
D|---------3---------4-----3-
A|---------3---------4-----3- x8
E|-0-0-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-2-0-0-1-
******* ******* ***
Then the songs main riff starts Riff 2:
D|---------------------1-----2/5-5-5-3/5-5-5-----1-------1-----
A|-1/3-3-3-1/3-3-3-2-1---3-2-1/3-3-3-3/5-5-5-3-2---3-2-1---3-1-
E|-------------------------------------------------------------
Next, the lead comes in over the above riff.
Lead:
e|-------------------------
B|-13-13-13-1114b16r14---- x2
G|----------------------12-
e|---11-13-13b14r13-13b14r13-11-11----
B|-13------------------------------13- x2
G|------------------------------------
Verse Riff 3:
e|-----------------------8-----
D|-8/101010-8/101010-9-8-8-108-
A|-8/101010-8/101010-9-8-6-108- x4
E|-6/8-8-8--6/8-8-8--7-6---8-6-
Chorus Riff 4:
D|-101010108-
A|-101010108- x4
E|-8-8-8-8-6-
Then the main riff comes in again and more lead follows:
e|-----------------
B|-----------------
G|-5-5-5-35b7r5--- x2
D|---------------5-
The next part of the lead is tremolo picked with loads of wah. Listen to the
song to get an idea of how long to tremolo pick each note.
G|-5-4-3-0-3-0-
Verse: Same as before
Chorus: Same as before
Next riff Riff 5:
e|------------------
B|------------------
G|-----------8------
D|---8-10------10-8-
A|--------10--------
E|-8----------------
Lead that plays over above riff:
Note this lead is really just a mess so you can do pretty much whatever
you want as long as it is along the general theme of whats below:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------6-
B|-8b9-6-------8----8b9-6-----------6-----6-----6b---------6-8---
G|-------8-5-5-8-5--------8-5---5h8---5h8---8-5----8-5-5-8-------
e|-10b12r10-6---
B|------------8- etc etc. Just mess about along those lines.
G|--------------
For the spoken part, the bass plays riff 5 while this wah riff plays in the
background Riff 6:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------
G|-8-6---6---6---6b----6---6---------6---6---6-----6---6---6---6---
D|-----8---8---8---8-5---8---8-5-5-5---8---8---8-5---8---8---8---8-
Again, its pretty messy so the above is just a part of the riff improvise
around the above for the rest.
For the last verse, play riff 5.
Final chorus same as before, play twice.
Key to the tab:
h = hammer-on
b = bend to next note to pitch of next note
r = release bent note to pitch of next note
/ or = slide to next note
