"Aeroplane" by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
=46rom the CD "One Hot Minute"
Written by Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Dave Navarro, and Chad Smith
Tabbed by Olaf Westphalen for bass guitar
Although Murzik01@aol.com's version of "Aeroplane" was a good overview, I=
thought I'd add a little more detail to the various intricacies of the so=
ng. My
version isn't perfect, but it works for me. Unfortunately, my version do=
esn't =
have any rhythm notation; a lot if it is syncnopated, although several se=
ctions =
are plain quarter notes. Flea does great job at mixing it up, cool stuff=
=2E The =
slap and pop verses are ad lib territory, have fun and funk it up! I play=
the G =
note that starts the riff in the chorus on the second string, fret 10, so=
I can =
get maximum vibratoage. The solo is off the CD; the solo that I hear on =
the =
radio seems to be cut short, so if you see more notes tabbed than you're =
accustomed to hearing, get the CD. This bass tab was created with Bucket=
'O Tab =
Version 1.02 copyright 1194 Scott Evans, which I found very easy to use. =
