Bass tabs
"In the Garage" by Weezer, from their self-titled debut. Tuning: Tune to Eb (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb). I've had a couple of requests for the bassline to "In the Garage", and I finally got around to transcribing it, so here it is. I'm going to assume that whoever is looking for this is already familiar with the song, so I'll give you all the parts, and the layout of the song. It's up to you to figure out what goes where. There are some variations throughout the song, such as the number of times you play each note at the end of the chorus ("...sing this song", etc.), but it's all up to you as to how exact you want to be in playing the song. |-----------------------------------| Verse. |-----------------------------------| |--3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5------------------| |------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--| |---------------------------------------------------------------------- |---------------------------------------------------------------------- |--3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5---------3-3-3-----------3-3-3-------5--------------- |------------------3-3-3-3-------3-3-3-3-3-------3-3-3---0--0-0-0-0-0-- ----------------------| Verse continued. ----------------------| --5-------------------| ----0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--| |-------------------------------------------------------------| Chorus. |-------------------------------------------------------------| |----------5-5-5-5-------------------------5-5-5-5-3-3-2------| |--3-3-3-3---------5-5-5-5-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3---------------5-3--| ------------| Chorus. ------------| ------------| --/5--5--3--| |-------------------------------------| This variation of the chorus is |-------------------------------------| played two times, and only at |----------5-5-5-5-/7-7-7-7-\3-3-3-3--| the very end of the song. |--3-3-3-3----------------------------| There are all the parts, now here is the layout: Intro (no bass) Verse (2x) Chorus Chorus w/o vocals Verse (drum and bass, with Fuzz pedal on) Chorus Verse Chorus (4x) One last note: there is a point in the song when Rivers yells, and I think I can hear Matt plucking the open E string a couple times as he does. Call it tediousness, but it helps in building the momentum. As of now, I really have no email address, but I plan on typing up the bassline to "The Good Life" soon, and I'll take requests once I find a permanent email site, for now mail them to [email protected]. Thanks. Patrick Killingsworth
