Green Day - Good Riddance (with Alternative Bass Solo) bass tab
Tabbed By: Garth Rhodes
Tuning: Standard
s = slide
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
H = hold
We all know this song doesn't have bass, but as a live song, you can include bass to give
the song more power. I've incorporated a bass solo that is normally done on violin, aswell
as the usual bass progressions. Use fingers, and turn the tone on your bass low.
To give the song more power, come in at 42 secs of the song, when the violins come in.
Enjoy!!

Like the violin, let the acoustic finish off the last bar of the song.
