chilievans Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Is it possible to play the guitar intro on the bass? I'd really love to be able to play it but dont know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mart Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 My fingers know how to play this on guitar (they remember better than my brain these days), and off the top of my head I think you could play it on bass if you dropped the E-string to a D like this: [code]G---14----14----12----12---10----10----9----9----7---7---5---5--5-4---- D------15----------14---------12---------10--------9-------7--------5-- A---------------------------------------------------------------------- D-0-----------0----------0----------0----------0-------0---------------[/code] I don't have a guitar or bass to hand to test this, so this may be off, but it might get you started.

mart Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm sufficiently bored that I just programmed that into Garageband which showed that I'd only got it half right. It also enabled me to put it in standard notation to help with your sight-reading (But note that the pedal D should be played an octave lower than it is written).
