Sinkemlow, words and music by Clutch
Tablature by Keith S. Byers
This track features a nice bluesy Hendrix/Clapton lick in the key of F# pentatonic
minor. The lick is hooky and gives way to serious riffing, never quite straying
from the tonal center of F# minor. As with a lot of the new Clutch songs from "Pure
Rock Fury," a good fuzzy tone can be achieved by flipping the pickup switch to the neck
position.

The solo is just some tremolo picked stuff around the fourteenth fret
in the key of F# minor. Not too hard
