Amaranth by Nightwish Hi! To start with, I'd like to thank my Bass teacher, because I'm not so good at so I needed some help^^ (By the way: I'm sorry for the mistakes in my English, I'm from Germany^^) ~: The note is hold until the next note is played, even if there's a new bar r: rest It's an easy song to play and you can listen to the guitar for the rhythm most of the You can also use the Drop C tuning, if you want to play the high C's in the intro and the an octave lower. Tuning: F C G D (high to low) Ok,enough said, let's go: intro: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| C|----------------|----------------|--------0-0-r-0~|2---------------| G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|--------------0~|--0-0-r-0-0-r-0~|--3-3-r---------|--0-0-r-0-0-r-0-| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| C|----------------|2---------------|--------0-0-r-0-|----------------| G|r-3-3-r-3-2-r-2-|----------------|----------------|4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| D|----------------|--0-0-r-0-0-r-0~|--3-3-r---------|----------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------| C|----------------| G|----------------| D|1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-| interlude: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------|----------------| C|----------------|----------------| G|r-1-1-r-0-0-r---|----------------| D|--------------3-|r-0-1-0-r-0-1-0-| verse: Part 1: (6x) 7th time: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------|----------------|----------------| C|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|----------------|------------0---|----------------| D|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0---4-|2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| Part 2: (3x) 4th time: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| C|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|----0-----------|----------------|----0-------0---|----------------| D|0-0---3-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0---3-0-0---3-|2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| prechorus: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| C|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|--0-0---0-0-0---|----------------|--0-0---0-0-0---|----------------| D|3-----3-------3-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|3-----3-------3-|1-1-1-1-1-1-1-0~| after that, go straight into the chorus: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| C|----------------|--------0-0-r-0~|2---------------|--------0-0-r-0~| G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|--0-0-r-0-0-r-0~|--3-3-r---------|--0-0-r-0-0-r-0~|--3-3-r---------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| C|----------------|--------0-0-r-0-|----------------|----------------| G|----------------|----------------|3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|----------------| D|--0-0-r-0-0-r-0~|--3-3-r---------|----------------|1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-| interlude (2x) verse (only part 2!) prechorus Then it's the chorus again (2x), but the very last 2 bars go like this: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------|----------------| C|----------------|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| G|3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|----------------| D|----------------|----------------| interlude (2x) bridge (2:34): (repeat as necessary) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------|----------------| C|----------------|----------------| G|----------------|--------------0-| D|r-0-1-0-r-0-1-0-|r-0-1-0-r-0-3---| Rest (Keyboard plays intro again) Then it's a variation of the chorus: [----repeat this bit 3 times------]then: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| C|----------0-r---|--------0-0-r-0-|----------------|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| G|----------------|----------------|r-0-0-r-0-------|----------------| D|--------------0-|2-2-2-r---------|----------0-r-0-|----------------| [----repeat this bit 3 times------]then: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ||1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|-----------------||----------------|----------------|----------------| C|-----------------||--------0-0-r-0-|----------------|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| G|-----------------||----------------|r-0-0-r-0-------|----------------| D|3-3-3-3-3-3-3/10/3|2-2-2-r---------|----------0-r-0-|----------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------| C|2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| G|----------------| D|----------------| interlude / outro: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | F|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| C|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|--1-1---0-0-----|----------------|r-1-1-r-0-0-----|----------------| D|0-----0-----0-3-|0-0-1-0-0-0-1-0-|------------r-3-|r-0-1-0-r-0-1-0-| Ok, that's it.
