Don't Wanna Fight bass tab by Alabama Shakes

Bass tabs

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Don't Wanna Fight - Alabama Shakes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Don't Wanna Fight
Album: Sound & Color
Tabber: John Sherk
Tempo = 100
bass

🏷Legend
x - dead note
h - hammer on/pull off
s - slide
g - ghost note
. - staccato

Note: He usually uses a piece of foam at the edge of his bridge that mutes the strings
for a nice, old-school tone. So if you want it to sound like him, palm mute the whole thing or
get a piece of foam.

Note: He does slight variations of the same fill on nearly every chorus. Rather than just tabbing the fills
and making you figure out where it goes, I tabbed each chorus
individually and placed each fill in their respective spot.

Note: Tune Down 1/2 Step

Intro:
No bass for first 8 measures

He s doing something here a dotted quarter note into each measure. I m not sure what it is. It could be ghost
notes as I have it, or it could be harmonics, or it could be another
instrument. If you listen real close, you ll hear what I m talking about. If you don t want to figure it out,
just play it like every other chorus.
