Beta Band - The Beta Band Rap bass tab

Band: THE BETA BAND

     Song: THE BETA BAND RAP!

    Album: THE BETA BAND

Tabbed by: Craig G Telfer

This song is in three parts: BARBERSHOP QUARTET, HIP-HOP and ROCK 'N' ROLL.

This is the BARBERSHOP QUARTET part.  I am sure there are other notes here,

but I cannot pick them out.

G|-----------------|-----------------|

D|-----------------|-----------------|

A|-5-5-4-4-6-6-2-2-|-5-5-4-4-6-6-2-2-|

E|-----------------|-----------------|

HIP-HOP part.  This is pretty simple, and sounds like The New Pollution by

Beck.  It uses some sort of effect, for I cannot recreate them on my Bass.

G|--------------|--------------|

D|---8----6---6-|---8----6---6-|

A|-----6h8-6h8--|-----6h8-6h8--|

E|-6------------|-6------------|

The ROCK 'N' ROLL section.  Pretty simple as well.

G|-----------------|-----------------|

D|-------2-5-2-----|-------2-5-2-----|

A|-0-4-5-------5-4-|-0-4-5-------5-4-|

E|-----------------|-----------------|

The ROCK 'N' ROLL part when the chord changes.  Very easy.

G|-----------------|-----------------|

D|-----------------|-----------------|

A|-------2-5-2-----|-------2-5-2-----|

E|-0-4-5-------5-4-|-0-4-5-------5-4-|

The parts are repeated again and again for how many times, I do not know.

To understand the song, play it slowly then pick up speed as you improve.  

Listen to the CD to hear where the parts are, and how to play them (speed,

rhythm etc.)

This song is from THE BETA BAND, not as good as THE 3EP's, but still

brilliant.  It uses a man called Kingsley on vocals.

If anybody likes THE BETA BAND like me, or has any corrections, comments

absolutely anything related to music, the bass, or current affairs and

amusing anecdotes you can e-mail me on:  charlatan_3@hotmail.com

Cheers, man
