Wow. Cheater :lol: I always had played the tritone with the first finger one fret lower than the second finger. I couldn't do a hammer on that way so I would just slide from from fret to fret. Sounded pretty much the same. I used two hands on the very intro thing just alternating the two chords between RH and LH.

Les Claypool took this and ran with it on bass. There's a wealth of Primus riffs that translate equally well back to the Stick :) .

Cheers,
Andy

It's cool that "Tone Eleven" is accepted as name reference.This is the name of a tune I recorded in 2001. TL was on that CD.

yeah, whenever we (Stick Men) played this Tony would need a minute to tune the top string down a step so he could bar those two strings.

the funny thing is, after looking at Colin Marston's tab for it, its actually easier (for me) to try to play the riff Colin plays it, than Tony plays it. I guess that really shows Tony's aversion to the melody side :lol:

Or your aversion to the bass side... :lol:

Tony is a bassist, and it's true that he only used the bass side in Gabriel's music, but if you listen to/watch everything from 80's era Crimson to the present, Tony uses the melody side quite a bit.

He even got the "bass gig" in King Crimson, in part, because of his ability to use both, as he told me when I interviewed him for an article in Progression Magazine in 2000.

a couple of examples:

I'm sure you wouldn't want people to get the wrong impression... ;)
