Ash

Ash - Jazz 59 guitar tab

Jazz '59 (originaly Rick's Riff)

This is such a cool song to mess about with (would be great if

ash brought it back into their live set). Though the tab isn't

that hard to play, it's hard to hear bits of it on the recording

(the guitar effect used sounds just like the piano). You'll have

to have the song playing along whilst you learn as the gtr rythems

constantly change. If anyone can work out the piano parts that would be

fantastic (I've worked it out up to the part where the guitar comes in).

Also, if someone could work out the whistling parts............!?

I've set out the tab in sections (sections of the song) to make it easier.

I'll do the bass parts 1st. There are two bass lines (I'll call them

b1 and b2). They are played at different times so you bassists out there

will just have to listen to the CD for order of play. If you are a

guitaristusing a pedal with a short record feature you can record b1

and play over that, only the ending will sound different.

I couldn't quite make out what came after the 10's. This was the closest.

Not too sure about the last 2 sections but near enough

The next section is hard to hear because of the piano but what I

put down seems to works

I think it sounds better, though, if you end on hitting the low 3

strings of an A bar-chord instead of the single note (5)

Sorry it's a bit patchy but you'll get the hang of it.

That's the badger!
