Tabs

Song: Zoot Suit Riot
Artist: Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Album: Zoot Suit Riot
Bassist: Dan Schmid

Tabbed by: The Philth
Visit: ButcherBand.com
and- MySpace.com/ButcherBand
and- MySpace.com/ThePhilth

This song is basically a clinic on Swing-style walking bass lines.

Dan Schmid has a very unique approach to bass playing in general
and you should use this to your full advantage.
Try and observe his left-hand/right-hand relationship-
he has a subtle pull-off/hammer-on effect during certain sections.

Once you learn this bass line, you~Rll understand what I mean.

Good luck and have fun!
