Bass tabs
Album: Point #1 Instrument: 5-string electric bass, tuning (GDAEB) Tabbed by ([email protected]) I heard this song the other day and really liked it. The opening bass line is more melodic when compared to most of Chevelle’s stuff. I searched online for the tab and couldn’t find it so here it goes. This line is correct (for the most part); I figured it out with my electric without an amp, so I think most of the notes are sound. Also you can drop-D a four stringer to play this just move the fingering up the neck on the E-string. E-mail with any corrections. Enjoy… *Key: h- hammer-on Verse (After the guitar intro) (:12) *(Pay attention, he changes it up a few times) G--------------------------------------------------------------------- D-----5----------------------------3h5---5---55----3--3-3-33-3--- A------------3---------------3h5-------------------------------------- E-------------------3--3h5-------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------------------------- (Play this between vocal lines (:57) (1:53) then go back to the first line) G------------3---------------------------------------------------------------- D-----5------------5--5------------------3h5---5--55----3--3-3-33-3--- *(End on F (3rd fret D string) and A----------------------------------3h5--------------------------------------- let it ring out before the drop- E--------------------------3h5----------------------------------------------- out.)
