I saw that there weren't any good tabs for this so I decided to at least try
and contribute something for the great buckethead. There is some ambiance in
the beginning that I can't really figure out but this tab should work. It's
pretty easy, but you kind of need a killswitch for the sweet part in the
middle.

Quiet buildup (00:34-01:04)
(The 3-3p2p0 is really quiet)
(For the second half (The part repeated four times) you don't play the last
2 notes (10 &8) the second and fourth time you play the riff)

Killswitch thing: (01:05-01:22)
For this I try to use the lower string as much as possible, because it's
easier to make them sound while tapping with the left hand, while using the
right to work the killswitch.
