CLAUSTROSPELUNKER
As recorded by Tourniquet
(From the 1997 Album CRAWL TO CHINA)
Words and Music by Ted Kirkpatrick

Hello everyone,
Claustrospelunker is one of my favorite upbeat tunes from Tourniquet
thats was previously not available. So I sat down, listened to it and wrote it
out. It has a very jazzy bass intro (soon to be added in tab) The guitar is kinda
fast and all over the neck but follows the A major scale pretty consistently.
With a little practice it comes through really smooth and is so much fun to play.
Enjoy
A few performance notes and explanation:
*Down tuned a half step* D#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#*
*I've included the chords under the tabbed area as well.
*Rhythm is not indicated in tablature*
For the Bridge, I have not completely filled out every note as is on the album
for the sake of time. Its all F minor scale and is relatively easy to follow.
A little improvisation and correct phrasing will make it sound great :)
