Bass tabs with lyrics
STIR IT UP
by Bob Marley and the Wailers
The track is of 🏷Legend, a compilation of all the very best Marley
songs.
This is the first time I have tried to tab an entiry tune.
Luckily for me, it only consist of two riffs.
So basicly the whole song is repeated again and again.
But the bass only keeps a steady rythm, which is very important in
reggae. It should be easy to figure out the exact timing,
I have just transcribed the notes.
I think it's a pretty cool tune, myself being a bassplayer and all.
My band is SevenOhZero and we come from Denmark.
Anyway, here is Stir It Up by Bob Marley And The Wailers:
