Wet Sand Bass Tab by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Wet Sand bass tab by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Bass Tab

Band:  Red Hot Chili Peppers
Title: Wet Sand
Album: Stadium Arcadium
Tabbed by: Jon Turner jrt5024@gmail.com

This song really grew on me. The guitar solo at the end is the most
powerful on the album. It's definitely one of my top favorites now.
Flea has it in his top 5 (he said so on the hour-long commentary), and
now I see why.

I tried to keep the rhythm as organized as possible but with all the
slides and hammer-ons and double-digit notes (11 or 13, etc.), it gets
a little goofed. Sorry! It's not that hard, though. If you listen to
the song, you'll get it easily. Nothing really tricky.
