Your Love is Beautiful (bass)

By Bass Levite
[Kenny: the digicam's mic is definitely not made to pick up sounds in the bass range, so the bass doesn't sound as full as what it should here]





Chords can be found here:
http://www.e-chords.com/guitartab/idmusica/44354.htm


Bass intro:
-----4-6-
-4h6-----
---------
---------


Verse and chorus:
Note that the tab below is the base riff and repetitive throughout the verse and chorus. Because it is a jazzy song, try to vary them as you play it, at the same time keeping the rhythm the same.

-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-4-2-1-0h1-2-3-4-4-2-2-1-------
-------------------------2-3-4-

One variation (hammer-on the F#)
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
-4-2-1-0h1-2-3-4-4-2-2-1---------
-------------------------0h2-3-4-

Another variation (no G#)
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-4-2-1-0h1-2-3-4-4-2-2-1-------
-------------------------0-2-3-

Funky skill to add in once in a while
---------------------------------
-----2---4h5-4-2---4h5-4-2-------
-4-4---4---------4---------4-2-4-
---------------------------------


Prechorus:
Note that these are simply the arpeggio notes of the chords, hammered-on.

-----------------------------
---7-------5h7---6-------4h6-
-------5h7-----------4h6-----
-5---5---------4---4---------

---6-------4h6-----------------
-------4h6-----6---4-------2h4-
-4---4-----------------2h4-----
-----------------2---2---------

-------------------------
---4-------2h4-----------
-------2h4---------------
-2---2---------4-4-4-4-4-


Postchorus:
The original song has a low D# note which can only be played on a 5 string bass. The tab below is for the more common 4 string bass.

-----------------------------
-----------------------6---6-
-6-6-6---6---6-6-----6---6---
-------6---6-----6-4---------


Instrumental:
In the original song, there is a percussion performance for the instrumental. I have developed a riff that can be played during the instrumental.

---------------------------
---1-2-1-------------------
-4-------4-2-0h4-0h4-2-2-1-
---------------------------

You can also slap! Note that this can only be done if you sync with the drummer (which is why it doesn't sound as good in the recording).

---6-------4h6---6-------4h6---
-------4h6-----------4h6-----6-
-4---4---------4---4-----------
-------------------------------

---6-------4h6---6---7---8---9-
-------4h6---------------------
-4---4---------4---5---6---7---
-------------------------------


Ending:
I made up an ending variation here.

------------------------------
------------------------------
----------------------4-4-4-4-
-4-4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-4---------

---------------------------
---------------------------
-4-4-6-6-7-7-6-6-4-4-2-2-4-
---------------------------
