Artist: Bob Marley
Song: Walk The Proud Land
Album: Talkin' Blues
Tabbed By: Rahmin Pavlovic (bassist@insite-out.com)
The main bassline for the tune goes like:
G----------------------------------
D----------------------------------
A-7-57-57----------7-57-57---------
E---------5(5)5(5)---------5(5)5(5)
It's a simple reggae riff and it's real easy to vary. The notes in
parenthesis are optional (bom, ba-bom bom vs. bom, bom). The 57-57 is
sometimes left out, and that's usually when you'd quadrouple up on the E(5).
Drop/fill notes out/in as the groove takes you.
The tune drops into the key of B every now and then for a couple rounds:
G----------------------------------
D----------------------------------
A----------------------------------
E-7-57-57-0(0)0(0)-7-57-57-0(0)0(0)
..but it kinda sounds like he's using a 5-string:
G----------------------------------
D----------------------------------
A----------------------------------
E-7-57-57----------7-57-57---------
B---------5-3-5(5)---------5-3-5(5)
I don't have a 5-string, so I play the 1st variation on the 2nd part.
