About Flattus Maximus
View Full Biography
Flattus Maximus (Cory Smoot) was the guitarist for the heavy metal band Gwar. Tragically, on November 3rd, 2011...Cory passed away due to a heart condition. He was an absolute pleasure to work with as a part of GWAR. It was an honor and a pleasure to know and hang out with him out of costume as Cory Smoot. RIP buddy. You'll be continued to be loved and missed.
Cory was 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's lessons are taught in full costume. He teaches 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.

Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.Gwar is awsome! I hope one day to be able to play this. (right now way above my head.
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.
