Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow Hey Oh bass tab

Group: Red Hot Chili Peppers

Title: Snow

Album: Stadium Arcadium

Tabbed by: Jon Turner jrt5024@gmail.com

Here goes to tabbing (or at least learning) the entire album. I’m starting with this

Dani California already has some fine tabs, and I’ll be going in order. If I don’t post a

it’s cause I suck at bass cause I’m sure as heck not busy right now and have no real

I don’t think these tabs are gonna be much help, and I’m sure better players will come

later and tab better ones, but seeing as how there are no tabs out yet, and I’m gonna

the songs anyway, I figured I’d just try to throw in my own attempts. I hope they help.

I love John’s vocal part on this song.

11 or 13, that’s… 11 or 13, not 1 or 3 (twice).

*NOTE – this section totally caught me by surprise. I originally thought it was an

lower and played with the bass drum, before I really listened and realized there’re higher

You can really hear it on the 13, but the 11 sticks out too cause it’s on the offbeat

I also didn't notice at first). You can barely hear it. So sneaky! It sounds like

lower stuff when I have my bass really turned up, but I think that’s just the bass drum

cause you don’t hear it at all when the bass volume is normal. I dunno. It also sounds

the very last measure might be an octave lower, but again, I only hear that when the

is SUPER turned up and not otherwise, and I don’t hear it on the 2nd interlude. :
