x---------------------------------------------------------------------------- King James - Buckethead ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: SlickNiK105 Email: [email protected] Tuning: standard (E-A-D-G-B-e) Buckethead uses many different effects in his songs. I can't accurately describe how he gets his sound, so play it however you want. I know some parts sound like they should be an octave higher or lower so if u have an octave effect, use it I guess. He's definitely using a wah pedal at least for the end of the song and there's some delay throughout most of it too.
