Bass tabs
Hey guys
Here's one of my favourite psycho-slapping old time funky Flea riffs.
It took me some practise to accurately slap the D-string but you'll get it.
ENJOY!
INTRO
G----5-7----5-7----5-7---5-5-7------
D-00--0--00--0--00--0---0-0-0------- Play this
A----------------------------------- a few times
E-----------------------------------
G----12b13r12b13--------------------
D-00--------------------------------
A-----------------------------------
E-----------------------------------
Then you do the intro bit throughout the song without the end bendy bit of course
Chorus (Easy peasy)
G----------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------
A-3-----5--3-----------------------------
E----0--------0--3--5--------------------
Then there's the buildup bit which changes to E the first time but then moves
in chromatics just before that flittery bass lick
G----9-9---10-10---11-11----12--12--------
D-----------------------------------------
A-77--7--88--8---99--9--1010--10----------
E-----------------------------------------
Here's the incredible bass lick which occurs when everything drops out and
it's just Chad pounding away on the drums and Flea does this cool thingybob.
The riff is repeated four times.Jumping from the 5th to the 12th fret is a
killer but it comes with practise.
G---------5---12h14p12--------------------
D-0--05h6---------------15p12-------------
A-----------------------------15----------
E-----------------------------------------
That loud eastern-sounding section at the end is as easy as this
G---------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------
A-5-------5--------5--------------------
E---------------------------------------
