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. :
