Critter tab by Steel Panther

Tabs

Song: Critter
Band: Steel Panther
Album: Balls Out
Tabbed by: iloveamanda12

I've noticed that the other tab(s) for this song have it mostly correct, but are missing details. One instance
is located in the verses, where there is more going on than most people apparently catch. The other major detail
is the sweep lick in the guitar solo. That is often mistaken as a hammer-on lick. I also added the guitar solo
harmonies. Anyway, as always, a great comical song by Steel Panther and amazing guitar work by Satchel.

🏷Legend
------

Layout Notation:

====== - Section, such as Bridge or solo, closed (after correct number of plays, move to the next section)
=   - Section, such as Bridge or solo, still active: after correct number of plays, move to next bar.
x(#)  - Repeat as indicated (x3 indicates repeating the riff twice more, etc.)

Grid Notation:

~   - vibrato (bend the string and release rapidly)
*   - deaden note (stop notes from ringing)
/ indicates higher in pitch)
X   - dead string (Mute string with your fretting hand)
{}   - pinch harmonic (bring the picking thumb across the string after picking note)
[]   - natural harmonic (lightly rest fretting finger on string, then pick)

/   - slide up (higher in pitch)(2/4 indicates fretting the 2nd fret, then sliding to the 4th without
        a 2nd pick-stroke)
\   - slide down (lower in pitch)(4\2 indicates fretting the 4th fret, then sliding to the 2nd without
        a 2nd pick-stroke)
b   - bend ("16b" would indicate bending the 16th fret)
r   - release bend ("16br" would indicate bending the 16th fret up, then releasing back to neutral position)
br   - bend, then release
brp  - bend, release, then pull; usually in a fluid motion
h   - hammer-on to indicated fret (0h2 indicates picking open string, then fretting the 2nd fret without
        a second pick-stroke)
p   - pull-off to indicated fret (12p10 indicates picking the twelfth fret, then lifting your finger to
        a pre-fretted 10th fret without a second pickstroke)
pb   - pre-bend, in some cases signifies a previous bend being held (bend the string before picking)
pbr  - pre-bend release (bend the string before picking, then release string after picking)
T   - Tap note with pick or a picking hand finger, usually in a quick hammer-on/pull-off section
TR   - trill (10TR12 would indicate to hammer and pull continually between the two specified notes)
trm  - tremolo pick (pick very rapidly)


Above Grid Notation:

.   - palm mute (mute the strings with your picking hand while picking)
\/   - use tremolo bar ("whammy" bar)(either raise or lower the pitch dramatically)
^   - Upstroke (use an up pick-stroke)
sweep - play strings with a fluid upstroke, downstroke, or a combination (watch for additional directions).
        Notes should ring individually, then mute prior to the next note (this is achieved by lifting
        your fretting finger or using your picking hand palm to mute). Further, if notes are alike (for
        instance: 15 on B, 15 on G, 15 on D MajorD), rolling is an option. Rolling is attained by collapsing
        or raising your finger's first joint, achieving a note, then successfully muting while using the
        same finger.
