WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Yoko Kanno - Too Good Too Bad Bass | Ver. 1
Ok, this is kind of like a guideline. I've figured out the two main basslines,
there's alot of walking, which I find very hard to work out. So you're on
your own for that.
There's also alot of what sounds like improv, which I also find hard to tab.
Chances are, if you're trying to learn this song, you're a better bassist
than me anyway, so you'll probably have less trouble than me working out
the walking and improv.
Here we go.
(Note: this is my second tab, I think, so go easy.)
be able to help you.)
Tuning: Standard
Song starts w/ horn section then a drum roll. Then the baritone sax plays this:
(note: the "x" is a muted string pluck)
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--13--11--13--x8-11-12-13--11--13-x8-11-12-13--------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
7x and then on the eighth time the horns do a walkdown, something like this:
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--13-12-11-8---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then a solo with some bass improv. which i'm not going to tab.
Then it goes back to the head (intro thing)
Then some solos and the bass goes like this:
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-13--11--13--------------------x8-11-12-13--Repeat-------------------------|
E|------------x8-9-10--11--9--11---------------------------------------------|
That the basis of the song, but like I said, there are alot improv and walkdown bits
are a bit out of my league.
Good luck on your quest.
