Whitewash by Buckethead
from Colma
Cyberoctave Music 1998 
Transcription by Martin Wong ([email protected])

This was done by watching a video of Buckethead's Colma tour. He uses an acoustic guitar
for this song but I used an electric through a Mesa/Boogie amp's Clean channel.
I also used a program called Slow Speed CD to bring the pitch up to standard tuning.

Delay: Digital Delay around 400ms with long echoes

Tune Down:
6th=Eb 5th=Ab 4th=Db 3rd=Gb 2nd=Bb 1st=Eb

For this part (and section 13) tuck the pick into your hand, use whatever finger
is comfortable (I used my 3rd) to sound the notes. Be sure to use your Thumb to 
hit the Bass Notes. For the fret hand, I noticed Buckethead had his Ring finger
anchored to the 7th fret for a lot of the notes.
