Howlin For You Tab

Tabbed by Roke_0
 
Here’s a tab of this song that’s accurate.
 
 
First is the main riff. It's played on a bass and also two octaves up with a lot of fuzz.
It almost sounds like a synth when you listen closely, but I think it can be played on a guitar just
as well. You can also play this main riff on a regular guitar as it's tabbed, in which case it will
be in the octave between the bass guitar and high fuzz.

The 7’s in this bridge riff have a distinct swing timing. Listen to song to get it right.
So here is where things get strange with this 3 octave deal (the two that are in the song and the
one that results from playing this riff on a regular guitar.)
 
I think that the bass part only has one of each note:

D|------------------------------------------5-7-5-----------------------------------|
A|-----7-----7----7----7----7----7-----7------------7-------------7-----------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------0----7-10---0---------------|
 
On a regular guitar I like it the following way, same as bass but with a hammer-on,
and still the same swing feel.

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------0--7-10---0-|
 
 
The higher octave/fuzz/synth is more of a triplet pattern.

If that doesn’t make sense don’t worry about it and just pick one of the first two ways to play this
 part. Moving on.
 
These are all the lead guitar fills.

8b is a slight bend, maybe like a quarter bend.

The trill and possibly some of the hammer-on's may only be apparent
due to a very deep tremolo effect.
