Learning How To Smile(Bass guitar)

	        



Songs From An American Movie
Vol. One: Learning How To Smile

Tabbed by Patrick McFadden and Jason Pan

Jason tabbed out this song on for guitar on two guitars, but I noticed that his one guitar tab was the same as what the bass played. I converted it to Bass style and made it shorter and easier to read, but made sure it's all right. It is. You are dead wrong if you think it's not. Or maybe just dead. And if not, then you will be soon oh ye of little faith.

As terribly awful and demeaning to bass players everywhere, I'm afraid due to the speed of this song you WILL need a pick. I know, I know, but hey, at least you can now play the song, huh? So quit your bitching and eat your vegetables! This hurts me more than it hurts you! And so help me God if you spill your milk one more time!
