Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tell Me Baby (10000% Correct) bass tab
Tuning: standard
All of the slapped notes are on the E and A strings, while the
popped notes are on D and G.
There is some funny laser effect on the bass during parts of
the chorus, If if you know what it is please let me know :].
This is a fun slap line to play with great note phrasing on
the chorus, I hope u all enjoy it.
