Artist: Primus Album: Sailing The Seas Of Cheese Song: Jerry Was A Race Car Driver Guitar transcribed by CAM. Like in American Life, this song uses volume alot for the car sounds. I'll mark increased volume like this: v> Play along with the song to know when to play verse, chorus and intro riff. Good luck with the solo! [Intro]
