Rip It Up bass

Rip It Up

Original tab by Todd Ford ([email protected])

My version of Rip it Up - I think it's 100%
correct. Please shower me with abuse if I'm wrong.

h - hammer on

Track starts with Lead Guitar - but part sounds
good on Bass.

G-----------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------|* x2
A---------2---2---4h5-4--2h4-2--2---|*
E-4---4-----------------------------|
	       
This part is played by lead during the verse
but bass has a variant on the part.

G--------------------------------4---2--|
D---------------------------------------|* x5
A---------2---2----5--5--4--4--2---0----|*
E-4---4---------------------------------|

Then verse into chorus.

Next is a little bass break with Jedi Master Jay 
scratching in the background. It is just the bass 
verse riff twice.

Lead Guitar Bridge - Can be played on Bass

G---------------------------------------|
D---------5-6-7--7--7h6h7-6-5-----------| x6
A-7--7-77-------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------|

There are two variants -

2nd Time
G---------------------------------------|   
D---------5-6-7--(let ring)-------------|
A-7--7-77-------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------|

last time
G---------------------------------------|
D---------5-6-7--(staccato)-------------|
A-7--7-77-------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------|


That should be enough - the rest of the song is similar.

After the last chorus just play repeated Gs (3rd fret,
E string for those bass players who only know tab).
