About Flattus Maximus
View Full Biography
Flattus Maximus (Cory Smoot) is a guitarist in the heavy metal band GWAR. He is known by his red face, white dreadlocks, dinosaur-head shoulder pads and reptile feet. The name "Flattus" implies (verified by various concerts) a flatulent character. His speaking mannerisms suggest a childlike intelligence and naivety (until recently; his entries in the current website's blog depict a different, more violent Flattus).
Cory Smoot is also an up and coming music producer and studio owner. Cory's lessons on JamPlay cover 4 Gwar songs. Beware this guy has a ferocious right hand so make sure you have your metal chops up to par before attempting his lessons. Oh and Cory teaches in full Flattus costume so be prepared for some hilarious lessons!

Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.there's a mistake in the tab for the intro: hammer on's start on 7th and 6th fret!
Awesome! that was baddass but it must be a bitch performing with all that shit on.
he doesnt teach the whammy slide at scene 9, 3:42. where can i get the tab for this? \m/
dont think hes using a wammy
He is definitely using the whammy, you can see it in the full view on the lower right. Just watch what he does and copy it.
It could just be a play by feel kind of thing. Neither of my guitars have bars so I usually just do a pinch harmonic somewhere near the target note and vibrato it.
plz
This man is a true artist, very unique. It shows what alot of hard work can accomplish, even without much theory.
greetings earthlings be careful playing this song, the world might explode

Okay, I haven't actually tried playing it 8D
Funny seeing how both of his songs are rated 2 out of 5 in difficulty ;D he must evidently consider them very easy to play. Would love to see an example of a song he thinks is difficult to perform :D
