Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Pretty standard fare for the bassist with some experience with
Gene's style. Here we find the usual diatonic outlining of chords, the
chromatic connecting phrases and little fill. Check out the diad (making
an F5) during Rhy. Fig 3. It is a slightly unusual move for Gene but it
has turned up before (although I can't remember where).
Key:
/ = slide up
= slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb = pre-bend
r = release-bend
t = tap with righthand finger
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = Vibrato
* = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
() = Dive wbar
(/) = Release wbar
Tp = Tap wplectrum
