Song: THE BETA BAND RAP!
Album: THE BETA BAND
Tabbed by: Craig G Telfer
This song is in three parts: BARBERSHOP QUARTET, HIP-HOP and ROCK 'N' ROLL.
This is the BARBERSHOP QUARTET part. I am sure there are other notes here,
but I cannot pick them out.
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-5-5-4-4-6-6-2-2-|-5-5-4-4-6-6-2-2-|
E|-----------------|-----------------|
HIP-HOP part. This is pretty simple, and sounds like The New Pollution by
Beck. It uses some sort of effect, for I cannot recreate them on my Bass.
G|--------------|--------------|
D|---8----6---6-|---8----6---6-|
A|-----6h8-6h8--|-----6h8-6h8--|
E|-6------------|-6------------|
The ROCK 'N' ROLL section. Pretty simple as well.
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-------2-5-2-----|-------2-5-2-----|
A|-0-4-5-------5-4-|-0-4-5-------5-4-|
E|-----------------|-----------------|
The ROCK 'N' ROLL part when the chord changes. Very easy.
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-------2-5-2-----|-------2-5-2-----|
E|-0-4-5-------5-4-|-0-4-5-------5-4-|
The parts are repeated again and again for how many times, I do not know.
To understand the song, play it slowly then pick up speed as you improve.
Listen to the CD to hear where the parts are, and how to play them (speed,
rhythm etc.)
This song is from THE BETA BAND, not as good as THE 3EP's, but still
brilliant. It uses a man called Kingsley on vocals.
If anybody likes THE BETA BAND like me, or has any corrections, comments
absolutely anything related to music, the bass, or current affairs and
amusing anecdotes you can e-mail me on: charlatan_3@hotmail.com
Cheers, man
