This is the crazy first track off of Botch's American Nervoso, and it's also my first
tab so go easy one me. I'm also not 100% percent certain this is correct, but I think it's
worth learning.

this. Throw some harmonics in there too.

And that is my take on Botch's Hutton's Great Heat Engine. It's not perfect, but hey, I tried.
