Byrds - Mr Spaceman Bass guitar tab
***THIS IS NOT HOW THE BYRDS PLAYED THE SONG***
I've been messing around with a few guys trying to learn some songs and one of 'em
out this song on the classical guitar a couple of nights ago. Thought I should learn the
for it and went to look for a tab and couldn't find one. I searched everywhere, even
for a song book to buy but wasn't successful. I analyzed the Guitar Chords played,
is something like G A7 D7 over and over in the verse with an added Am and C in the
I came up with this little circus type riff to play underneath a strumming acoustic guitar
an arpeggio style classical guitar.
My first bass tab.
Play with a nice flow, moderately fast, sometimes slur the notes.
Standard Tuning, 4 String (EADG)
VERSES:GUITAR SOLO (you'll catch the flow)

Directly back to VERSE, and so on.
Listen to the song for timing, really simple.
And that's practically what I play. Sounds pretty good infront of a group of friends.Added by tabs-database.com and our distinguished partners
