Misc - Mostly Harmless bass tab
Mostly Harmless.
I composed this bit inspired by Jaco Pastorius's "Blackbird"
and Satriani's "Always with me, always with you".
I play this on my accoustic bass, but with the right configuration
it should sound great on electric as well, of course ;-)
I use a three-finger-picking technique, with my thumb on the
A-string,
index-finger on the D-string and middle-finger on the G-string.
