Stuck With Me (ver. 3)(Bass guitar)

	        


Band: 
 
Album: Insomniac
Year: 1995
Track: 3
Bassist: Mike Dirnt
Lyrics: Billie Joe Armstrong
Tuning: Half Step Down (Gb Db Ab Eb)

I've tried to give an idea of the timings with this, but the best way is to just play along and ad lib the timing to fit the song - play extra notes if they sound better to you, this is just how I play it.

I adapted this from the other tab that's on here, but I changed it a bit and formatted it to make it much easier to follow. All credit to whoever posted the original tab.

There's some parts in here that I can't even hear Mike playing, but when I play it sounds good, so i've left them in ;)

Mike's bass has a really cool sound in this song - try turning your treble and middle up, with some presence to emulate it.
h: hammer-on
p: pull-off
R: Rest

Gb-------------1-2-4-2-1---------------------------4-2-1---------¦
Db-------0-2-4-----------4-2-0---------0-2-0-------------4-2-0---¦
Ab-0-2-4-----------------------4-0-2-4-------4-2-0-------------4-¦
Eb---------------------------------------------------------------¦
(Basically just do what you like with the scale of A Major (well, Ab major, but the shape's essentially A major, it just changes for the tuning), but I think Mike's got it perfect)

Then that's it - easy as pie ;) If you can play this, you can play anything by Green Day, and a lot of other punk bands too.

Please rate this, it's pretty much perfect!
