Matthew Good Band - Carmelina bass tab
Artist - Matthew Good Band
Song - Carmelina
Album - The Audio of Being
Tabbed by - Alec MacDonald
~~A Word about tuning: Tune the Gb, Db, and Ab, slightly above those. So each of them are
in between
the flat and the real note. It's really weird, but the song sounds best like that. For
the low C,
tune exactly half way between C flat and C. I know it's crazy, but no other way can you get
the right
sound.

[3:13]
At this point, on the CD, the bassist has layered over top of this riff, some playing of
the
open C string. You can hear it real quiet: it plays the same rhythm as the snare drum here.
(3:15) Interlude
Gb|------------------------------------------------|
Db|------------------------------------------------|
Ab|------------------------------------------------|
C |2---------------5---------------0---------------|
[3:21]
The open C string layering stops here.

(3:58) Outro
Gb|-----------------|
Db|-----------------|
Ab|2-2--------------|
C |------5-5--0-----| Let Ring.
[4:03]
Here's more layering. Extremely quiet: I had to shove my ear against the speaker at full
volume
to hear it, but it's there believe me. The final open C string note is still ringing from
above
when at this point [4:03], this is played.
Gb|----------------------------------|
Db|----------------------------------|
Ab|----------------------------------|
C |2---------------5-----------------|
The open C string is not played, but it is still ringing, and at the end of that riff
cut off the 5. Please note again, EXTREMLY QUIET.
