Weezer - In The Garage bass tab

"In the Garage"

by Weezer, from their self-titled debut.

Tuning: Tune to Eb (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb).

I've had a couple of requests for the bassline to "In the Garage", and I

finally got around to transcribing it, so here it is. I'm going to assume

that whoever is looking for this is already familiar with the song, so

I'll give you all the parts, and the layout of the song. It's up to you

to figure out what goes where. There are some variations throughout the

song, such as the number of times you play each note at the end of the

chorus ("...sing this song", etc.), but it's all up to you as to how

exact you want to be in playing the song.

There are all the parts, now here is the layout:

Intro (no bass)

Verse (2x)

Chorus

Chorus w/o vocals

Verse (drum and bass, with Fuzz pedal on)

Chorus

Chorus (4x)

One last note: there is a point in the song when Rivers yells, and I

think I can hear Matt plucking the open E string a couple times as he

does. Call it tediousness, but it helps in building the momentum.

As of now, I really have no email address, but I plan on typing up the

bassline to "The Good Life" soon, and I'll take requests once I find a

permanent email site, for now mail them to thx.1138@mailcity.com.

Thanks.
