                                CLAUSTROSPELUNKER
                            As recorded by Tourniquet
                      (From the 1997 Album CRAWL TO CHINA)

Hello everyone, 
        Claustrospelunker is one of my favorite upbeat tunes from Tourniquet 
thats was previously not available. So I sat down, listened to it and wrote it
out. It has a very jazzy bass intro (soon to be added in tab) The guitar is kinda 
fast and all over the neck but follows the A major scale pretty consistently. 
With a little practice it comes through really smooth and is so much fun to play. 
Enjoy

A few performance notes and explanation:

*Down tuned a half step* D#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#*

*I've included the chords under the tabbed area as well.

*Rhythm is not indicated in tablature*

For the Bridge, I have not completely filled out every note as is on the album 
for the sake of time. Its all  F minor scale and is relatively easy to follow. 
A little improvisation and correct phrasing will make it sound great :)
