From the first Peel session(21/2/84), available on the Strange Fruit CD
(SFCD114).
It sounds like there are two guitar tracks on this, one playing the bass
Part and a second one doing the fills up around the ninth fret. I’ve
Tried to tab it out so that you can play both parts at the same time
(that is, you don’t have to be at the fourth and ninth position at the
Same time).
Frinstance for the fill around «only knew what they taught me», guitar 2
Actually plays :
E————————11—
B——————-9h11——
Only knew what they taught me
But you can get away with playing:
E——————-4-/—11—
Only knew what they taught me
….and still be playing the bass part/chord at the same time 🙂
Everything’s played with a barred E shape. It’s in Ab.
E A D G B e
4 6 6 5 4 4 — Ab
11 13 13 12 11 11 — Eb
9 11 11 10 9 9 — Db
8 10 10 8 8 8 — Cm
6 8 8 7 6 6 — Bb
X 8 10 10 9 8 — Fm
The intro & verses bass part pretty much just follows the progression
Ab Eb Db Eb….
..sometimes just following the bass notes, with a bit of percussion :
Ab Eb Db Eb
A—-6-x——13-13-x—11—x—-13-13—x—
E—-4-x——11-11-x—-9—x—-11-11—x—
..sometimes playing a walking bass part :
Ab Eb Db Eb
E—-4——4-11——11-9——9-11———
..sometimes leaving an open e before each change :
Ab Eb Db Eb
E—-4——0-11——-0-9——0-11———
Suggest using something like this and messing around with it :
Ab Eb Db Eb
E——————————————————11——
B———x————————-x———9-/11—-11-11—
G———x—5————-12-10—x——-10-/12—-12-12—
D—6——x—6—/13———13-11—x——-11-/13——-13—
A—6———————————————————
