Brown Sugar Bass Tab by The Rolling Stones

Brown Sugar bass tab by The Rolling Stones

Bass Tab

It was hard to hear exactly what Bill Wyman was doing here since the
original recording is a bit mushy but I tried to transcribe a bass
line consistent with his style.

Tabbed by: BASSteve

Tuning: EADG

Time signature: 4/4

r = rest (listen for duration)
||= measure gets repeated (see number of times above measure, e.g. 4x)


*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes
and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate
durations.
