Version 1.0

May 2001

Playing Notes:

1. I am omitting lyrics since the 
whole song is based on this simple 
arrangement
   (And as this is a rap track with 
lots of words)

2. This is a classic "first 
generation" rap tune. With Chipmunk 
voices and neat
   little story involving Superman 
as a mixin' DJ, Cosmo D, 
Megatroid(?)

   and Chilly D -- it makes for a 
classic. Everyone knows this song.

Bass:

I chose to transcribe this 
completely on the E string since its
 a nice
scaling pattern and more fun (in my 
view) to play.

G---------------------------------
D---------------------------------
A---------------------------------
E--9--12--9-7-5-5--5-5h7-9--------

Repeat this over and over through 
the verses.

On electric guitar, you can play the
 same riff doubling the bass as
shown, or play it in first position:

E---------------------------------
B---------------------------------
G---------------------------------
D----2--------------------2-------
A--4---4---2--0-0-0-0h2-4----4----
E---------------------------------

E|-----| 
B|-----| 
G|----o| 
D|----o| 
A|-----| 
E|-----| 

The quick synth parts can be played 
like this
(Listen to recording for tempo and 
pattern matching)

E---------------------------------
B---------------------------------
G-----------9-------9-------------
D----11--11---11-11---------------
A---------------------------------
E---------------------------------

The following section is my addition
 to this song, STRICTLY optional;
if you play this in a band, you 
might get a bit bored with doubling
the bass. There is a chord I 
discovered that, when repeated in a
funky-syncopated fashion with lots 
of muting complments the song 
nicely.
It's more scraping and muting than 
actually playing, but if you strum 
fast
(16th note), in time with the 
high-hat, it will come off nicely. 
Make up your
own strumming/muting/raking pattern 
with this chord and have fun!
