I've tried working out this rift from a song which is very repetitive but very groovy and catchy but I must be tone deaf i am struggling big time :) , I cant seem to get the knack of it but it is my first attempt. I was wondering if anyone could help me out and work it out for me thanks :)

The song starts about 1min15sec

... I'm just about to hit the hay, but before I do it's something along the lines of:

F / G# / A#

If you want tabs, it'd be something like:

E string fret 1 (E1) for the first few notes;

Then E3-E4/D6 (i.e. playing up from F to G and then G# on the E string, and the octave above (G#) on the D string)

Then E6/D8 - E6/D6-D7-D8

...which probably makes no sense at all, but you might be able to piece it together from that!

Good luck - it's a nice little bassline; quite simple to play once you have the groove of it ;-)

I was going to go to bed but you made me learn this instead

I've just tried (badly) to tab it in Guitar Pro, but the notes are something like this:

G--------------------------------------------------------------
D ---------------------------------6----66------7----8------6-7-8
A--------------------------------------------------------------
E---1--1--1----1-1-1---234---4----------5----6----6---------

PS My music theory is non existent - I believe that trying to do stuff like this helps me become a better bassist

Can the real bassists please correct / amend where necessary

Doddy or Bilbo will be along to slay you all for the use of tab though[/quote]

Doddy and Bilbo will be happy to help.
