KMFDM - SPIT SPERM
GUITAR TAB
Tabbed By Aaron Fornarino
As I said for the bass tab it was rather dissapointing not to find this song as
it is really easy to play. I have included the timing and the changing parts. I
figured that there is only one way to play this song and that is in Drop D it is
too fast for normal power chords and it's much easier to slide up and down the
neck. ENJOY! :)
Drop D Tuning : D A D G B E
Key : / = Slide Down
\ = Slide Up
* = Palm Mute (Apart From Different Noted Meanings)
>< = Wah Pedal (Use Your Imagination With The FootWork!)
^ = harmonics
This first guitar riff doesn't start until (0:55 secs) into the song. Play this
very fast as it's difficult to tab all the palm muted notes I suggest playing
with the song to get the timing. Play both parts twice
i.e. -1--1:A--1--1:A-
-1- (0:55 secs)
D --7-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-12--12-/-10-7*-7*-7*-7*-5--7--8-\-10----|
A --7----------------------12--12-/-10-------------5--7--8-\-10----|
D --7----------------------------------------------5--7--8-\-10----|
G -----------------------------------------------------------------|
B -----------------------------------------------------------------|
E -----------------------------------------------------------------|
-1:A- (0:59 secs)
D --7-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-12--12-/-10-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-----------|
A --7----------------------12--12-/-10-----------------------------|
D --7--------------------------------------------------->7-7-7-7<--|
G ------------------------------------------------------>7-7-7-7<--|
B -----------------------------------------------------------------|
E -----------------------------------------------------------------|
:NOTE: I think the end part of 1:A is a Wah Pedal however I do not own one so am
not too sure about that.
-2- (1:08 secs) "Your TV Is My Teacher..."
D --12----12--10---5--7--\--12--10---|
A --12----12--10---5--7--\--12--10---|
D --12----12--10---5--7--\--12--10---|
G -----------------------------------|
B -----------------------------------|
E -----------------------------------|
-2:A- "Forgive Me Lord For All Of This Hate..." (1:15 secs)
D --12----12--10---5--7--\--12--10---2-\-5-7--12--10----|
A --12----12--10---5--7--\--12--10---2-\-5-7--12--10----|
D --12----12--10---5--7--\--12--10---2-\-5-7--12--10----|
G ------------------------------------------------------|
B ------------------------------------------------------|
E ------------------------------------------------------|
-3- (1:22 secs) Play this 3 times then with 3:A i.e. -3--3--3--3:A-
D --7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*--12--10--7*-7*-7*-5*-\-7*--12--10---|
A ------------------------------12--10--------------------12--10---|
D ------------------------------12--10--------------------12--10---|
G -----------------------------------------------------------------|
B -----------------------------------------------------------------|
E -----------------------------------------------------------------|
-3:A- (1:33 secs)
D --7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*-7*--5--7--12--10----|
A ---------------------------5--7--12--10----|
D ---------------------------5--7--12--10----|
G -------------------------------------------|
B -------------------------------------------|
E -------------------------------------------|
This part is the harmonics in "See The Gun Pick It Up..". For those who do not
know how to achieve harmonics here's what you do. Touch the string very lightly
(do not press it) with your middle finger and pick each string one by one this is
played at these times (1:39 secs, 1:46 secs), let the harmonics ring out.
-4-
D -7^---------|
A ----7^------|

On the pitch change it's this, sounds really good :) Play 4 Times ultra fast
(remember the palm mute's are only a guide) but not for the bassline part
i.e. -7--bassline--7--bassline--7--bassline--7--bassline-
-7- (3:00 secs)

Continue that sequence pattern (-8- and -8:A- Only) through the solo I think the
solo is this but i'm not too good at solo's and I don't know how I could explain
how to get it right pretty much how I do it is I hit the 12th note on the B
string but I use my middle finger to hit the 13th string continually hammering on
and off and sliding down and back up to the correct notes if you know what I
mean. Good luck coz I have no idea if that makes sense at all...so here goes...
:NOTE: - Only pluck the notes with the *'s the distortion should make it sound
loud enough
Repeat Twice with this exception i.e. -9--9:A--9--9:A(Half Only (|))--10:A-
-9- (3:55 secs)
D ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

At the end of the second round when it changes this is the rest (4:45 secs)
-10-

TAH DAH! I'm sorry if this is confusing but it was sort of hard trying to explain
it anyhow if you really wanna play it you'll know what I mean.
