The Used - Take It Away bass tab
tuning ( C A D G )
*for those who dont no how to tune down, jsut tune to "D" and
play everything on the D string 2 steps lower*
key:
slide - / or \
harmonic- *
dead note - x
pull off - p
hammer on - h
*READ ME*
ok, so lets start here, Jeph Howard is an awesome bassist, this guy
can move his fingers so fast. HE ALWAYS TUNES DOWN TO C on his bass,
The runs are as close as I can get em',
how long the slide is depends on the number of slide bars (eg
/ is fast, /// is held longer, etc etc) I dont care if you dont play
the runs and fills the same way, this song is easy to improvise too,
and the prechourse part is really quiet, listen closly. THe last
chorus is pretty hard to figure out, especially the last bar,
i think its close, def not perfect but close. I will be updating
this tab with improvemtns so keep an eye!
thanks!
