Lightning Bolt, Crown of Storms Bass Tab
Tab (C)Robert Bateman, 31/03/2005.You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. Rightyo, this is my go at tabbing a bit of Lightning Bolt. The tuning used for Brian Gibsons Bass is C,G,D,A (the same as a cello). He uses Banjo string for the A string, up to you if you want to do that i guess! If you snap a string tuning the Bass up, don't blame me!!! a 'T' above the note indicates that it is tapped using the right hand. 'H' indicates a hammer on, 'P' indicates a pulloff The most difficult thing about this piece is getting the rhythm right, It may take a bit of practice! Riff1: Lots of tapping! The note on the 10th fret is not actually played, it's just sounded using pulloffs from the right hand when tapping.

G -------------------------------------- C -------------------------------------- Riff2: This bit is the hardest bit to get right, concentrate on the rhythm and hopefully it'll fall into place....

I'm not entirely sure whether the D string is played at all here, it would probably be OK with just the A and G strings....
