Song: BIG BOTTOM Artist: SPINAL TAP Album: "BLACK" ALBUM (THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK TO THE MOVIE SPINAL TAP) -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com Standard tuning Comments: This was recently posted on the BTA by Steve Porsche but his version only listed the first riff that the bass plays. This is the real deal. This track appeared on their self-titled "black" album and is played by, hold on to your hats, three basses. That�s right, three. One is heavily effected, probably some type of bass syntheziser while the other two are "clean". I�ve arranged this barrage of bass here for one bass as it is easily played that way. I do recommend a pick though. This is, beside being a cool song, a good left hand exercise. It will build stamina holding down those chords in the chorus. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) Tp = Tap w\plectrum Rhythm Fig. 1
