Ya Mar bass tab by Phish

Band: Phish
Song: Ya Mar
Bass Performance By: Mike Gordon
Tabbed By: MOY

Oh yeah, I also think that some of the guitar tabs I saw out there were off
for the chord changes.  I think this is what it is: (A - Gflat - Cflat -
Aflat)


I think this song is easier to count if you imagine the chord changes
following    cut-time (2/4) instead of normal-time (4/4) because it MOVES
and you don't want to fall behind.

>Intro: I emphasize that this is a very loose opening. Mike jams a lot, so I
>didn't put any time markers. Just think off beats and eighth notes and
>you'll be fine.

G ----------------------------4--4--4--4--4------------
D --7--7--7----4--4---4-----------------------6--6---
A ---------------------------------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------
>

(I tabbed the rest of this by hand because tab programs suck.)

>Verse/Chorus/Jam/Rest of Song:

G ---------------------------------------------------------
D --------5--7-------------------2--4--------------------
A ---------------------4-3-2--------------2222--4-----
E –5--------------2--------------------------------------

>Verse variation: (Just give you an idea of what to do.)

G ------------------------------------------------------------
D -------------------------------------------------------------
A -------5--7--------4-3-2--------------4-4--2-------
E --55----------2-------------0--2-----------------------

(Even though this is a variation, you can't stray too far from the part
since the bass is holding part of the melody down. So just chill and go with
the song.)

This song is too much fun, just get a little toasty then it all flows. Any
comments would be very much appreciated.

Bass gets not glory, let’s change that!!
