Modest Mouse - Dirty Fingernails Tabs

Riff A:
(Roll down strum on the four harmonics in the first chord and let them ring out. Harsh
and abrupt up strums on the second chord of the riff. Quickly silence the strings with
your palm after strumming the second chord. On the recording, there is so much distortion
that some harmonics ring out after Isaac has muted his strings.)

E|-------x---------|

Harmonics From ~0:20 to ~0:25:
(Isaac Brock uses his whammy bar to bend the harmonics throughout this song.
if you're like me and don't have a whammy bar, then you can bend the strings
behind the nut of your guitar to try and emulate the effect--or just get a
whammy pedal.)

Harmonics From ~1:06 to ~1:15
(To obtain the ghost notes, make sure you pick the string just
microseconds before tapping the harmonic on your fret board. Lots of
distortion helps here too.)

Riff A4:
(On the seventh repetition of the riff don't strum the part you'd
normally up-strum--instead just mute all of the strings except for
the g string.)
