Chevelle - Peer bass tab

Album: Point #1

Instrument: 5-string electric bass, tuning (GDAEB)

Tabbed by (lomans@bellsouth.net)

I heard this song the other day and really liked it. The opening bass line is more melodic

when compared to most of Chevelle’s stuff. I searched online for the tab and couldn’t find

it so here it goes. This line is correct (for the most part); I figured it out with my

electric without an amp, so I think most of the notes are sound. Also you can drop-D a

four stringer to play this just move the fingering up the neck on the E-string. E-mail

with any corrections. Enjoy…

*Key: h- hammer-on
