Bass tabs
A great lesson in blues for the beginners. You get the same pattern repeated as the 1-chord (I), the 4-chord (IV) and the 5-chord (V). Called as such because the 4-chord is a perfect 4th above the 1-chord, and the 5-chord a perfect 5th above. In bass player lamen terms, the 4-chord is 5 frets (or one string) up, the 5-chord is 7 frets (one string plus 2 frets) up. So, here's the pattern, fretted out.... The 1-chord goes like this... 1 n 2 n 3 n 4 n G |----------------| D |----------------| A |------------1---| E |1---1-1-4-------|
The 4-chord goes like this... 1 n 2 n 3 n 4 n G |----------------| D |------------1---| A |1---1-1-4-------| E |----------------| And of course, the 5-chord like this... 1 n 2 n 3 n 4 n G |----------------| D |------------3---| A |3---3-3-6-------| E |----------------| Play these in the standard 12-bar blues pattern... 1,1,1,1,4,4,1,1,5,4,1,1. Just repeat over and over........ I love it. Martin.
