The Other Instruments Random Tab Thread

[GSR]

So, since this has been a dead zone, I thought I'd make a new thread.

Post your little incomplete bits and riffs of songs that you've tabbed here.

Hair
Graham Central Station

This is a damn tricky groove. Vic says on the Bass Day '98 that even he doesn't quite have it right. Here's what I got out of it, sounds pretty good to me. As with many masterful lines, there are infinite variations and fills. Haven't nailed down the chorus yet either.

/ = slide down neck
^ = bend

Main Slapped Groove

really? i don't think i've seen that. guitarists usually use (12) or whatever fret you're supposed to do the harmonic on in the parenthesis.

Yeah, or "optional" notes.
