Swing On This

(Bass - 3 versions)

 1º Versão

Great walking jazz bassline by bassist Mike Inez. Kinda has a little
bit of a swing feel to it. Not of what time signature this is in.

G-|---------------------|-------------------------------|---------------------|
D-|---5--3--------------|-------------------------------|---------------------|
A-|----------4--3--1----|----------1-3--4h5~-4-3-1------|---------------------|
E-|-------------------3-|-0-1-2-3-------------------2-1-|---------------------|


G-|-------3-------------|-------------------------------|---------------------|
D-|-5--3-5--------------|-------------------------------|---------------------|
A-|----------4--3--1----|---------1-3--4h5~-4-3-1-------|---------------------|
E-|-------------------3-|-0-1-2-3-------------------2-1-|---------------------|

    Another of Mike Inez's great basslines off of Jar of Flies, you can
    play this one quite easily on a 4-string, though he may use a
    5-string for it, I don't think he uses the B string at all, except
    maybe in the chorus, where the bassline changes.  I haven't
    tabbed the chorus, if you know it, let me know.

 2º Versão

Notation:
^(n)  =bend up(till the n fret)
^(n)r =bend and release
/     =slide up
\     =slide down
^^^   =tremolo
^h    =hammer on
p^    =pull off

Tuning: Tune Down 1/2 step -From low to high-(Eb)(Ab)(Db)(Gb)

I think this song is plaied by Mike with a 5-strings bass....now I've got
my version,4-string bass:

BASS:
    (B7)
||------------------|----------------|------2----------|--------------------
||--4-2-------------|----------------|-4-2-4-----------|--------------------
||-----3-2----------|---2-3-2--------|--------3-2------|--2-2^(3)------------
||--------5-2-0-1-2-|-/5-----5-0-1-(2)----------5-0-1-2|/5------5p^2-0-1-(2)-

This part cotinue for all verse part.
The guitar plays the B7 chord,at time.....listen it on CD.
The Chorus is:


||------------------------
||------------------------
||----3-3^(4)-------------
||--3---------------------
||------------------------
||------------------------

The solo is a complete G pentatonic blues solo, so enjoy to do it yourself!!!!
