Sublime - Chick On My Tip bass tab

Song: Chick on my Tip

Artist: Sublime

Album: Second Hand Smoke

Tabbed by: Boy Wonder

This is a sweet song that might look familiar to anybody with knowledge of blues.

As always, you can expect Eric to improvise throughout the entire song but these are the

main parts.

Secondary Riff- this is a very common blues shuffle bass line.

If you not ever played shuffle bass you may struggle with the rhythm.

The notes are played long-short, long-short and so on. It may help to say

humpty- dumpty as you play to get the rhythm.

As I said, I have not the ear to pick up all the variations. This should help you get started.

Happy playing,
