Howard's Tale Bass Tab

[miket_825]

As of right now, it's offically "In Progress". It's going to take a f***ing long time to tab it I'm afraid. I'm busy, and it's just a very special song to tab.

Can't wait... =D

Here it is!!!!!! After hours (and I mean HOURS) of hard labour and listening to this song way too loud and too many times, here it is. Howard's Tale for bass, to the best of my ability. Guaranteed at least 60% accurate.. hahahahaha. But really, let me know what you think.

Howard's Tale
Sick Puppies
"Dressed Up As Life"
Bass Tab

Tuning: Drop C (Low to High: CGCF)
Speed: 92BPM ish

Intro: (Those are 12's, 15's, and 11's)
Also, I know the spacing of the notes is off, because the entire intro and main bassline is
straight 16th notes, but for readability's sake I had to put spaces in.

^^^ Well, it's been viewed 20 times, so I wouldn't say NO ONE has checked it out. I wouldn't stress, there aren't a ton of bass players on here, but I'm sure the ones that do play will appreciate it.

I just thought it was kinda funny...lol. Don't mind me, I tend to fall in the category of "easily amused."

But as a side note, everyone calls Sham, Sham. That is her name. OK, not really. But her real name is top secret... Dun dun dun...

I'm having slight trouble seeing how the Chorus adds up to the song. Its just seems odd o.o

EDIT: Wait nevermind, my string was slightly off tune, I got it now.

Maybe Emma will respond.
