Fire Back About Your New Baby’s Sex
Don Caballero - American Don
Tabbed by: Cliff (cliffordton@yahoo.com)

This song consists of mostly guitar loops which are layered on top of 
eachother. Usually, a part is introduced and played once, then is sampled
and looped for however long, while other parts dance over top. Sometimes
there are as many as 4 parts going on simultaneously! There is also one large
non-looped part about halfway through the song. Throughout, I have made a 
note for everytime a part is looped. This could help out greatly if you 
wanted to recreate the song in a live situation, or even record it yourself.
Just learn the loops, find where they go, and learn the few other non-looped
parts here and there and you should be fine.


/ or \ = Slide     ~ = Bend/Slight Bend     ^ = Hammer-on/Pull-off	 


Key of E

**For the sake of simplicity I will refer to the first
  measure of each section or change as "measure 1" as we move along. 


INTRO

*This can be played with a pick or with the fingers. Hell... you could
 probably even finger-tap this part out. Keep the notes short/staccato.

 as the 2 previous parts. This measure is repeated 6 times, then this part
 drops out and Parts A and B play together for the remainder of the intro.

               Measures 5-10  = Parts A + B + C  
               Measures 11-14 = Parts A + B

BASS LINE

*This is the basic idea for the bass. Really dirty punchy sound. Listen to
 the record for the exact rhythm. The bass comes in on the 7th measure.

*Damon goes to the hi-hats here. 
-There are 4 distinct and independent paarts here. There's also some panning.   
 The first 3 loops start right away, with the final part coming in on the 5th
 measure.

:Panned Left
-This is kind of the main part for this  section. It sort of holds everything
 together. This starts on the downbeat and remains on the down beat everytime.

E--0---------0------0----|
B-----2-/-4--4-/-5--5----|
G------------------------|
D------------------------|
A------------------------|
E------------------------|

:Panned Right
-This is the counter for the part above.. It plays the upbeats or offbeats,
 not the downbeats. These 2 parts combine to make the core of this section.

E-------0--0----|
B----0--5--5----|
G----4----------|

:Panned Left

E--------------------------------|
B--------------------------------|  You could play this part on higher strings 
G--------------------------------|  to get a higher voicing if you wish. 
D--------------------------------|   
A----14-------14------14---------|  
E--------16-------16-------16----|

:Not Panned (in both speakers)
-This is the icing on the cake. High andd pretty. This part truly begins
 after the 5th measure or phrase. The structure here is AAABAAABAAB.

*This part is almost in free time, is spastic, and kind of floats around. It’s
 very intricate. So listen to the album for the exact timings. The bar lines are
 there just to help you a bit with the phrasing. This was surely improvised to
 some extent.

OUTRO

*This riff starts off the outro. As it progresses, several layers of guitar
 are stacked on top one by one and looped. There are eventually 4 total
 parts going at once. 

 Palm Mute
E-----------|-----------|   
B-----------|-----------|    <This is the 1st loop.
G-----------|-----------|     
D-----7--9--|-----7--9--|    This part is played against itself starting
A--7--9--7--|--7--9--7--|    in the 3rd measure. 
E--9--------|--9--------|

*The 2nd loop comes in on the 3rd measure and plays the same exact chords
 as the above measure, except the rhythm is the opposite. This 2nd loop plays
 on the upbeats or offbeats, and serves as the counter for the above measure. 
 You'll hear it.                       

*Enter 3rd Loop
-This comes in on the 5th measure. It soounds like the rhythm might be 
 quarter-note triplets. Listen to the record for the exact rhythm.

 
E-----------------------|
B-----------------------|  This part will be coming along soon!!!
G-----------------------|
D-----------------------|
A-----------------------|
E-----------------------|

*A 4th part comes in just before Damon starts doing the bassdrum/cymbal
 grab thing. This part just pops in at what seems to be regular intervals,
 and serves to eliminate the previous space between the loops. 

 Palm Mute
E---------------------|
B---0---0---0--0--0---|  NOTE: This is all I can make out of this 4th  
G--11--11--11--9--9---|        guitar part/layer. There might be a bit more.
D---------------------|
A---------------------|
E---------------------|

*This is played to end the first half of the outro.

E-----------|------------|
B-----------|------------|  The drums and loops stop and this is played by
G-----7--9--|-----7--9~--|  itself. Play these 2 bars once before the change.
D--7--9--7--|--7--9--7~--|   
A--9--------|--9---------|
E-----------|------------|

*The drums come in with a full beat after this, and the guitars pick up a bit
 to finish the song up. I will return one day in the near future to finish up
 this last part in order to have a COMPLETE tab! 

*******************************************************************************
Well, there it is folks. I believe this tab to be very accurate. I didn’t have
any videos or footage to go by, but all of the parts seem to correspond with 
the recording nicely. Give it a shot and e-mail any questions, answers, 
complaints, etc. to cliffordton@yahoo.com. I'll try to get some more tabs up 
on some later date. Until next time... Long Live Don Cab!
