Good Charlotte - My Bloody Valentine bass tab
Good Charlotte: My Bloody Valentine
from The Young and the Hopeless
Tabbed By: Tom O. (E-mail: fuzz4494@aol.com)
Notes:This is a pretty easy song... I saw GC like a week ago in a club show in Buffalo and Paul was standing about 10 feet front of me on stage so i saw him play this song and i'm almost positive its 100%. He uses a Lakland 5 string (i know what youre thinkin... a 5 string in punk? NO WAY) tuned standard BEADG.Alot of the parts he plays lower than Benji and Billy on his B so its hard to hear but trust me its there.I'll just tab out the parts, the order you can figure out yourself.Enjoy!!
Notation:
/= slide
~=hold note
**NOTE** OK,I'm tired of e-mailing people the same file 10 times a day lol, so
I put the 4 and 5 string tabs into one.5 str. tuned BEADG,4 str. tuned down BFBE
