      Maggot Brain 
      by Funkadelic 
      from the LP MAGGOT BRAIN 
      from: Peter Mosinskis   
  
   
  
      heavy, heavy, HEAVY metal...from Eddie Hazel.  This album has some 
      other heavy grind on it (check out "Super Stupid").  Flea and former 
      RHCP guitarist John Frusciante called Funkadelic "heavier than Black 
      Sabbath" in a Guitar Player magazine interview a few years ago. 
  
      Intro words:  Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time, for y'all 
      have knocked her up.  I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the 
      universe, and was not offended, for I knew I had to rise above it all, 
      or drown in my own SHIT... 
  
      The arpeggio guitar is clean Strat (I think), neck pickup (or center 
      and neck), and turn the tone control down to 5 or so?  The lead is 
      probably Strat as well, running a distortion or fuzzbox -->  wah --> 
      delay (or reverb or both), something like that. 
  
      ARPEGGIOS--  Em, D, Bm, C

      ...then solo like crazy over E pentatonic.  The arpeggio is a lot of 
      fun to jam to.  Go, Maggot Brain...
