Bass tabs
Song: How Blue Can You Get Artist: B.B. King Transcribed by: Trey Evans ([email protected]) 9/30/02 I don't know what key the song is in, but this is the bass line in the key of G. You can move it around as you see fit. A brief note: this is pieced together from the whole song, and the bassist he is using in this version is really good and likes to improvise; don't expect this to fit the whole thing. Besides, some of it's probably wrong from the get go. It's basic triplet rhythm, and if there isn't a note on a beat, it's a rest. The turnaround is the way I heard it, but it may be played on the D root instead of the G. A final note: You find a problem, TELL ME! I wanna fix it. 4/4 G7 |------------------------|------------------------| |-------------------2----|-------------------2----| |-----------2-5---5---5-2|-----------2-5-2-5---5-2| |-3---3------------------|-3---3------------------| 1 2 3 2 2 3 3 2 3 4 2 4 1 2 3 2 2 3 3 2 3 4 2 4
