Hold Tight bass

Hold Tight

This is the bass for this great 60's classics. One of my favorite songs
from the 60s and all time. I have also tabbed out Young Love by Tab Hunter
for guitar with the chords. 

Intro is 8 distorted open E chords on the guitar. Then the bass comes in. 
I suggest palm muting whether you play this on a bass or regular guitar.
It's actually mastered pretty; surprisingly; low. Like it will bump your
subs a little. 

D and U are down and upstroke. 
   D D DUD DUDU UDU - repeat this rythmn
G|-----------------|   |----------------------------------|
D|-----------------|3X |----------------------------------|
A|-----------------|   |0-0-000-0000-000-2-2-222-2222-2---|
E|-0-0-000-0000-000|   |-------------------------------00-|

G|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
A|-0-0-000-0000-000-2-2-222-20-0-000-0---------|
E|------------------------------------0-0-000-0|

                                    Twenty B-notes there
G|------------------------------------------------------| Now repeat all
D|------------------------------------------------------| except only one 
A|0-0-000-0-2-22-2-0-2-22-2-0-2-22-22222222222222222222-| time through
E|------------------------------------------------------| on beginning E


After this the solo just repeats the E-A-B-A progression twice, then it's
like the intro again with the drums, guitar, then bass. After that reapeat
the whole thing again. 

Solo goes like this to clarify:
G|---------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------| X2
A|----------0-0-000-0-2-2-222-2-0-0-000-0|
E|-0-0-000-0-----------------------------|

After that it's like the intro again. Reapeat all as before; only one time
through beginning E again. Then, for the end, it does the intro thing again
only it just repeats the beginning E part a bunch of times.
