Back with another chilli song (big fan of flea)
Simple to learn because the structure just repeats three times then ends.
Its not a hard song but begginers may struggle with the intro and with timing.

Suck My Kiss

Key
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
h - hammer on
(h) - hammer on or dont, unsure
p - pull off

Structure

Do not be discouraged by the long structure, Its not a long song.

Hey all

Just made a quick exerice this morning as I was looking to get my slap staminia back into shape, so I though I would share with Dmans forum so others could maybe benefit from it aswell. Of course to get the best out of this play it at a tempo you feel happy with where every not is clear and it doesn't sound rushed. Also play it for a few minutes so you feel your hand starting to tire.

E---5 XX 5-XX---------------------------------------------- -
The 5/7 bit is a hammer on - hammer on from fret 5(D) to 7(E)

On the last part with the lick, slap the open string then hammer onto the 7 and then 9.

By the the way its mainly in A Aeolian which is the 6th mode of C Major.

I believe this is also the same as the blues brothers version, however I have played it without using open strings so that it can be moved to suit which key it's played in

And the playalong:

Awesome!

lol hes got my bass!

damn thats groovy

as it looks like the last post was quite a while ago i thought i might restart this topic
i think this is right but im not 100% sure



its a kickass song by a kickass band.

anywho
this song is played on a 5 string flattend by a semitone (Bb Eb Ab Db Gb).
im gonna tab it out in that tuning first and then for a 4 string bass for those people that dont have a 5 string

here goes:

Key
~ = hold the note
6^7^6 = bend the 6th fret until it sounds like the 7th fret then bend it back
/ = slide up
\ = slide down


VERSE (0:13):
|--------------------------
|--------------------------
|--------------------------
|--------------------------
|--5-----------------------

|---------------------------------------- }
|---------------------------------------- }
|---------------------------------------- X3 }
|---------------------------------------- }
|---2--2-0-5--2----2-2--2-5-5-5----- }
}
} Repeat this three times
|--------------------------------------- }
|--------------------------------------- }
|--------------------------------------- }
|--------------------------------------- }
|---2--2-0-5--2----2-2-2-5---------- }


CHORUS (0:55):



|-----------------------------4-6^7^6-4---------------------------------
|-----------2----------2-4-6---------------------2-------------------------
|---4--2-4---4--4--4-----------------------2-4---4--4--4-2------------- Play this bit four times.
|---------------------------------------------------------------4-2--------
|--------------------------------------------------------------------5-2---



VERSE 2 (1:22):


|--------------------------------------- }
|--------------------------------------- }
|--------------------------------------- }
|--------------------------------------- }
|---2--2-0-5--2----2-2--2-5-5-5----- }
}
} Play this bit four times.
|--------------------------------------- }
|--------------------------------------- }
|--------------------------------------- }
|--------------------------------------- }
|---2--2-0-5--2----2-2-2-5------------ }


CHORUS 2(1:49):


This is exactly the same as the last one except right at the end you add this

|---------
|---------
|---------
|---------
|--2~----


GUITAR SOLO (2:21):


Let the guitar play the riff once first then bass kicks in with this.


|--------------
|--------------
|--------------
|--0-12-0---
|--------------


|-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|------------------------------------------------------------------------- play this until the end of the song
|-9--9-0-9--9-9\7-7-7--7--7-0-9--9-0-9--9-9/12-12-12--12-12-0-
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------



|---------
|---------
|--------- slide at the end
|--9\-----
|---------

ok same thing again but this time for a 4 string bass
im not gonna tab the whole song out again just the sections where they differ
remember this is still downtuned (Eb Ab Db Gb)

VERSE:

|----------------------------------
|----------2-------------2-2-2----
|--4--4-2----4--4-4--4----------
|---------------------------------

and the second part of verse

|----------------------------------
|----------2------------2--------
|--4--4-2----4--4-4-4----------
|---------------------------------

CHORUS

the chorus stays the same except the run at the end instead of being like this:


|---------------------------------
|------2-------------------------
|-2-4---4--4--4-2-------------
|--------------------4-2--------
|---------------------------5-2---


you will have to play it an octave up like this instead:

|-----------------6-4--------------------
|-------2--------------6-4--------------
|--2-4---4--4-------------7-4---------
|-----------------------------------------

and the end of the second chorus will be this:



|--------------------
|--------------------
|-----------4~~--
|-------------------



and the guitar solo stays the same.


have fun people











also if some people could go through that and tell if there some bits wrong and then i can edit them to make them right.

i might also do a video lesson once i get this 100% correct.
