Long Live Rock
Who
Text File
A relatively simple blues bass line by arguably the greatest rock bass player of all
time, John Entwistle (10/09/44 - 06/27/02).
Tabbed by: BASSteve
Tuning: EADG
Time signature: 4/4
r = rest (listen for duration)
/ = slide (low to high)
\ = slide (high to low)
()= note inside parenthesis not plucked or hammered on
{}= note inside pointed parenthesis still ringing from previous measure
: = tempo/dynamic level change indicator (w/notation above)
*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I�ve made an attempt to strategically space
the notes and rests within their respective measures in order to
represent the appropriate durations.
(Guitar Intro � 3 measures)
