5 Guitar Amps for Beginners That Are Actually Great

Hello Bass Players!
These are the tabs to Paint It Black, as
played by Wednesday Addams in the recent
Wednesday TV show. All I did watch some
piano tutoiral on YouTube and transitioned
it to bass in what I thought was the most
optimal way.
If you want to check out the piano tutorial,
here’s the link:

If you’re wary of links, and you should be,
then just search up “Wednesday Addams Paint
It Black Piano Tutorial”.
I Hope You Like The Tab!

You’ll probably need to do the picking by
alternating between between the thumb and
index and ring finger. It’s odd.
Timing/measures may be slightly off.
