Bass Tab
Tuning: Standard (B, E, A, D, G) and (E, A, D, G)
This song uses the fifth string on a bass (B), so I put those parts into the
"five string tab format".
Don't have a five string? Not to worry! I provide step-by-step instructions
on how to tune your bass down to match the sound of a five string.
1. Tune your bass to standard tuning (E, A, D, G)
2. Match the 10th fret of the 4th string to the open 3rd string.
3. Match the 5th fret of the 4th string to the 3rd open string.
4. Match the 5th fret of the 3rd string to the 2nd open string.
5. Match the 5th fret of the 2nd string to the 1st open string.
The 3rd, 4th, and 5th steps are the same as tuning to standard, except each
string is one octave lower then they would be in standard.
NOTE: The sound quality of the lower tuning isn't as good as playing with an
actual 5th string. For best performance, use a five string.
