Third Eye Blind - Motorcycle Drive By bass tab
Song: Motorcycle Drive By
Artist: Third Eye Blind
Album: Third Eye Blind on Elektra records
Lyrics and Music: Stephen Jenkins
Tabbed by: PeonObserver
I've never seen a bass tab for this song, and as
simple as the chord progression seems to be, the
bass part is pretty extensive and incredibly fun
to play with all the little runs and things.
I primarily play guitar and this is my first tab
for bass so feel free to e-mail me with comments
or questions at CorganFanatic@hotmail.com

Until the distortion, the bass part is very bouncy and
almost swung, so play around with timing.
