Ok here's the absolutely 100% right way to play this song. I tabbed the exact number of notes that are
hit, as the guitar is tremolo picked 
with a specific pattern and not just 16/16 picks per measure. The timing on the notes is also perfectly
tabbed out as I hate trying to 
decipher other people's tabs that aren't accurately timed (and I'm sure we all do).

I also took the time to tab out the bass, trumpet(s) and the piano solos for guitar (the piano part is
extremely hard to play on guitar but it's 
there anyways). There is also a drum tab available for this song in the drum section that I tabbed.

Standard tuning (a little bit sharp)

The bass in the song is pretty much constant and easy so I tabbed it this following way:

Played on low E string (4th string):

Bass riff A
E|0---0-0-0-0-0---|
 |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |

Riff B
E|1---1-1-1-1-1---|
 |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |


Song order:
Rest x 4 mesures
A x 6
B x 2
A x 2
B x 2
A x 10
B x 2
A x 2
B x 2
A x 2

Break for trumpet solo:

A|0---0-0-0-0-0-0-||0---0-0-0-0-0-0-||----------------||----------------||----------------||----------------|
E|----------------||----------------||3---3-3-3-3-3-3-||3---3-3-3-3-3-3-||2---2-2-2-2-2-2-||2---2-2-2-2-2-2-|

A x 2
B x 2
A x 2
B x 2
A x 2
Rest x 6 measures
A x 2
B x 2
A x 2
B x 2
A x 16
B x 2
A x 2
B x 2
A x 8 (fade out after 5th time)

Trumpet rythym - sounds like another trumpet or brass instrument, carries this faint rythym but isn't
constant throughout song so listen for 
the order/sections:

When bass plays riff A:
G|----1-1-----1---|
 |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |

When bass plays riff B:
G|----2-2-----2---|
 |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |

And that's it! Don't hesitate to email me with comments and corrections and please rate!

Subject: Dick Dale's Miserlou, again

********


Miserlou
(Aka "the theme from Pulp Fiction.")

Dick Dale and the Del-Tones popularized Miserlou in 1962.  Recently, the Pulp
Fiction soundtrack introduced another generation to the tune.  In fact,
though, Miserlou is a Greek folk tune from waaaaay back.  Dick Dale's '62
version largely defined the surf sound.  He played it on Fender outboard
spring reverb tank (along with a classic Stratocaster through a 1961 Showman
setup).  The original folk tune has lyrics, but -- as you surely know -- surf
music does *not* have lyrics!  Dick Dale just shouted "hu!" and "haa!" in a
couple of spots.

Dick Dale doublepicked Miserlou left-handed and upside-down at blinding
speed.  I've simplified this tab to emphasize Miserlou's melody.  The
original thus has about four times as many notes as you see here.  Dick Dale
apparently learned to speed-pick from his Lebanese uncle, who played an oud
with a turkey quill.  Dick Dale still tours -- don't miss him!

The popular '62 version of Miserlou sometimes *sounds* a semi-tone higher
than it appears here, especially in the lower ranges.  StratoCossack
attributes tuning and/or recording flukes to the '62 version, however.  Later
recordings and observationos at live performances bear out the approach set
forth here, which resolves in E and puts exactly two octaves between the
first and second guitar passages.  If you want to mimic the '62 sound, trying
bumping up the first guitar passage, on the low E string, by a semi-tone.

Recorded:  Dick Dale and the Del-Tones, 1962
Tabbed:  Tom W. Bell , 1995 (with "Team Cowabunga," esp.
StratoCossack, helping with the lead guitar, and Rick Weber helping with the
trumpet)

h --> hammer-on (and, sometimes, play in same beat)
p --> pull-off (aka hammer-off) (and, sometimes, play in same beat)
s --> slide
# --> rest
= --> hold note a beat
1pick --> singlepick
2pick --> doublepick
"hu!"; "haa!" --> various shouts

Tempo:  Presto con huevos!
(Doublepick all guitar passages unless otherwise indicated.)
