I sat down at my chair, and turned on my amp, I picked up my guitar, pressed record and started to play.
I looked at my hand, It was morphing into something inhuman, It had become a spider, jumping from fret to fret, string to string with a mind of its own. No tab lead its way, it just used the little hairs on its legs to sense what sounded right and what didn't.
It accomplished this sequence of notes exactly one time in the course of about 20 takes, So i looped it. because any more of that and i would have gone insane. Or perhaps completely turned into an arachnid.
Then it decided to learn how to play the vocal notes, And so it did it thrice, Once for left, Once for right, And once panned center, a whole octave up.
Some day it may finish this. Someday i may not. Someday i may turn into a spider. it all depends on if i figure the rest out. AND if i can manage to record it when i do.

the tricky part is constantly adjusting what fret your fingers are on, while at the same time playing what you've already held down;
the plucking pattern goes 432344324223 then 432344324232| counting the high E as 1 and the low E as 6.
this pattern is mind-boggling. its the finger equivalent of a tongue-twister. it makes you want to press the wrong frets.
If i were to write it out in my cryptic shorthand bastardization of a chord chart it would look something like this:
fingering-Play this string and sing these lyrics
002250---4Pic3ture 2your
002050---3self 2in 3a
004250---4boat 2on 5a
003000---4Ri-
000030---2-v-
000020---2-e-
000200---3-r
-pause----with
002250---4tan 3ger 2ine
002050---3tre2es 3and
004250---4mar 2ma 5lade
000010---2skiii-
000200---3-iiii-
000010---2-ieess
(if the above looks like spaghetti, try pasting it into notepad and looking at it with Courier New or lucida console.)
And that's just the first verse! O_o *twitches*
