Rock Lobster
! Ah yes the immortal Rock Lobster...
! Let me see if I can remember this. Take your least-used guitar.
! Remove the middle two strings. Tune the low E down to a C. Tune
! the A down to a G. Tune the B string DOWN to an F, and the high E
! DOWN to a G#.
! Now tell the bass player to go on break (unless he or she can make
! decent animal noises). The early B's setup was drums, 1 weird guitar,
! cheesy keyboards, and vocals. Oh yeah the male singer Fred played a mean
! cowbell which you can hear in the second half of the intro and similar parts
! of the song. (I love his visible concentration when he whacks that
! cowbell in the video).
! The intro/main riff proceeds thusly (where each dash is a 16th note):
|----------------|----------------|
|----------------|----------------|
| | |
| | |
|----------------|1-0-1-0-------0-| <-- last note is an occasional pickup
|0---2---3---2-0-|----------------|
! The main verse is sung over that part. Then you get to the first
! "rock lobster!" part and do the following (the notes are on the
! low two strings):
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
| | | | |
| | | | | 2 times
|----------------|----------------|1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|----------------|----------------|
! then...
|----------------|----------------|----------------|------------0---|
|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------0-------| let ring
| | | | |
| | | | |
|----------------|----------------|1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|0-0-0-0---------|
|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|----------------|----------------|
! then you can figure the rest of that part out, I just wanted to show the
! high strings being played...
! next comes the "Down Down" part where you start on fret 12 of the
! second highest string and play eighth notes, moving
! chromatically down the fret board. the last bit of this run (before
! the drums come back in) is...
! i'm showing only the second highest string (B tuned to F)
|2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|0-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|0-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|
|0-1-1-1-0-1-1-1-|0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1-| (drums come back in, go to first figure)
! Okay that should get you through the first half of the song. The second
! half is mostly vocals because the cheesy keyboards drop out. It starts
! out like this (not sure of rhythm):
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
| | | | |
| | | | |
|5---8---5-----5-|--------3---3---|5---8---5-----3-|--3-----5-------|
|5---8---5-----5-|--------3---3---|5---8---5-----3-|--3-----5-------|
! then comes the "buzzer solo" where you alternate (fifth fret, two low
! strings, eighth notes) with (third fret, two low strings, eighth notes)
! then "let's rock!" is followed by the "guitar solo" where you whang
! away on the two high strings
! then comes the "boys in bikinis" and finally the call-reply animal
! noises part of the song, over which the following figure should be played
! repeatedly:
|----0-------0---|----------------|
|----0-------0---|----------------|
| | |
| | |
|5-----5---5-----|3-3-3-3-8-8-7-7-|
|5-----5---5-----|3-3-3-3-8-8-7-7-|
! it's a seven minute long song and it's hard to keep all the parts
! straight but the crowd really eats it up. At an outside pool
! party it's appropriate for the band to jump in the pool following
! completion of the song.
! Have fun, and pass the tanning butter.
