Mclaughlin John - Guardian Angels bass tab

Song: "Guardian Angels"

Artist: John McLaughlin with The One Truth Band

Album: Electric Dreams

Tabbed by: Chris Joye (McGrath012@aol.com)

Standard tuning.

This is actually a guitar part, but my friend and I figured it out

onto bass so we could do it in unison.  It changes time signatures a

lot, but it is all straight eighth notes.  It helps to practice it with

a metronome...just remember every chord doesn't start on the one! You

can do just about every chord without shifting your hand too much,

except one.  With that one you can either slide up to the E or do an E

harmonic on the E string. (I like doing the E harmonic better and that

is how I wrote it out)  This is a great picking and arpeggio exercise!

Not to mention an awesome intro/piece!

Check it out!
