Shellac-My Black Ass
(Albini-Trainer-Weston)

Ok, I am very frustrated that there are only three
fucking Shellac tabs to be found on the Internet so I
am taking a great pain to satisfy the appetite of all
the rabid Shellac fans like myself out there.

In Drop-D tuning. Tune the seventh fret of your low
E-string to your open A-string. All of the other
strings remain in standard tuning.

This song is divided into basically three parts. The
first part is the chunky riff that Steve plays for the
first section of the song. The second part is the
clangy transition Steve makes before kicking back into
the main section. The last section is repeated at the
end of the song and is also used in the middle before
the "It's a Gary Cooper story..." part of the song.
There is obviously going to be the question about how
Steve gets his guitar sound, and the answer is I
really don't know. I play with a metal pick and lots
of sustain and distortion and it sounds close enough.
Any questions, comments, or complaints, feel free to

Enjoy! Matt
