Clarke Stanley - School Days bass tab
Song: School Days
Artist: Stanley Clarke
Album: The Bass-ic Collection
Tabbed By: Tony E.(intensity5@comcast.net)[Maryland]
Legend :
T Thumb
P Pop w/ index finger
^ bend
~ vibrato
S Strum w/ finger nails
h Hammer
p Pull-off
Note: In here I discuss how to raise a harmonic pitch. I found another
way to this, on the 19th fret of the G string. Give it a good bend,
this will produce the same sound.
Riff # 1
This is just the basic riff, I don't think anyone can play this
perfect, but here is a basic version, try and work with it.
(0:00 - 1:54)

Riff # 2
I saw another tab with this in it but they were playing it an octave
too high, simple slap riff.
(1:55 - 2:08)

| Here you play the harmonic then grab the head of your bass |
| with your left hand and the end of the body with your right |
| hand. Using your body like a fulcrum bend the bass around |
| you. This will tighten the strings raising the pitch, |
| thus a bend. |

Riff # 2 (again)
He plays this through a sampler, like the "Boomerang" or the
"BOSS RC-20 Loop Station". Stanley plays this riff 8 times.
Then it is looped under his solo, or at least thats how I do it.
(2:41 - It Just keeps looping)
