Bass tabs
Police Bass TAB version 1.0 =========================== The following represents my personal collection of stringsÕs bass lines from his police years. For the most part sting used a pick on a fender jazz bass, occasionally there was a slight slap-back echo delay applied to his lines. The lines a simple however they are not nessaraly easy maske sure to listen to the recod carefullly to obtain stingÕs reggae and jazz syncopation was the bass drum. I have been playing bass for about three weeks, so any contructive critisizm or insight in to singÕs style would be greatlly apreaciated. Hal-Lenard publishing does have a police bass-tab book out however I have yet to see it. I also donÕt have the money to spend on a potentianlly incorrect tab book.
Eventually I hope to transcribe the compleate Police for bass. Each time I transcribe more songs I will post them in this newsgroup and in nevada. 🏷Legend h=hammeron p=pull off s=slide pound=continueous 8th notes ==================================================== Demoltion Man by the Police transcribed by Andy Aleodort prepared for computer tab by kevin gardner [email protected] bass line for the entitre song |-------------------------5h6--| |---5-7------5-7------5-7------| |-7--------7--------7----------| |------------------------------| |-------------------------------| |---5-5-7-----5-7---------------| |-7---------7----------3-5------| |--------------------5-----5----| ==================================================== When the World is Running Down, You Make the Best of whatÕs Still Around. by the Police transcribed by kevin gardner [email protected] prepared for computer tab by kevin gardner [email protected] bass line for the entire song eventually there is song slap-back echo added to the bass. |-------------------------------| |-------------------------------| |---1-3-----1-3------3-5----3-5-| |-3-------3--------5------5-----| |--------------------------------| |--------------------------------| |---5-7----5-7------5-7----5-7---| |-7------7-----0--7------7-----0-| ==================================================== Walking on the Moon by the Police transcribed by kevin gardner [email protected] prepared for computer tab by kevin gardner [email protected] bass line for most of the song |------------------| |------------3-2---| |-3-3-5----------3-| |------------------| bass line for chorus |------------------| |------------5-5-5-| |-3-3-5----5-------| |------------------| -------- |---------------------| | |---------------------| | |-1-1-1-1---3---------| | |-------------1-1-1-1-| | 3X |--------------------------| | |--------------------------| | |---3-3-3-3---5------------| | |-3-------------3-3-3-3--5-| | | -------- |---------------------| |---------------------| |-1-1-1-1---3---------| |-------------1-1-1-1-| |---------------------| |---------------------| |---3-3-3-3-------3---| |-3-------------3-----| ==================================================== Roxxane by the Police transcribed by Andy Aleodort prepared for computer tab by kevin gardner [email protected] bass line for most of the song |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-10-10----8-8----6-6----5-5----3-3-| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-1-1----1-3------------------------| bass line for pre-chorus |-------------------| |-------------------| |-3-3---------------| |--------1-1----3-3-| |-----------------------| |-----------------------| |-3-3-------------------| |--------1-1----3-pound-| bass line for chorus |-------------------------------| |-----------1-3-pound-----------| |-3-1-pound---------------------| |---------------------1-3-pound-| bass line for interlude |-------------------------| |-------------------------| |-------------------------| |-1-3--3-1-----1-3--3-1---| ==================================================== Invisible Sun by the Police transcribed by Andy Aleodort and Kevin Gardner prepared for computer tab by kevin gardner [email protected] bass line for intro, verse, and solo |---------------------------------| |-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-----------------| |-----------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-| |---------------------------------| bass line for pre-chorus |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--0-0-0-0---------| |--------------------------4-4-4-4-| of a statistic on a government chart
