Duration Legend --------------- W - whole; H - half; Q - quarter; E - 8th; S - 16th; T - 32nd; X - 64th; a - acciaccatura + - note tied to previous; . - note dotted; .. - note double dotted Uncapitalized letters represent notes that are staccato (1/2 duration) Irregular groupings are notated above the duration line Duration letters will always appear directly above the note/fret number it represents the duration for. Duration letters with no fret number below them represent rests. Multi- bar rests are notated in the form Wxn, where n is the number of bars to rest for. Low melody durations appear below the staff Tablature Legend ---------------- h - hammer-on p - pull-off b - bend pb - pre-bend r - bend release (if no number after the r, then release immediately) / - slide into or out of (from/to "nowhere") s - legato slide S - shift slide <n> - natural harmonic [n] - artificial harmonic n(n) - tapped harmonic ~ - vibrato tr - trill T - tap TP - trem. picking PM - palm muting n/ - tremolo bar dip; n = amount to dip n - tremolo bar down n/ - tremolo bar up /n - tremolo bar inverted dip = - hold bend; also acts as connecting device for hammers/pulls <> - volume swell (louder/softer) x - on rhythm slash represents muted slash o - on rhythm slash represents single note slash Misc Legend ----------- | - bar || - double bar ||o - repeat start o|| - repeat end *| - double bar (ending) : - bar (freetime) $ - Segno & - Coda Tempo markers - <E/E./Q/Q./H/H.> = BPM(8/16=s8/s16), where s8 = swing 8ths, s16 = swing 16ths *************** * Generated using Power Tab Editor by Brad Larsen - http://powertab.guitarnetwork.org * *************** Solar Groove - Bass Tab Author - Johann Lau Solar Groove Performed by John Myung Tabbed By Johann Lau In 4/4 Rhythm Figure A Repeat Once G|------9-------4---|-----7-------5---|-----7-----5-----|-4-----5-----4----| D|o---7---7---6---6-|---5---5---4---4-|---3---3-----3---|---3-----3-----3-o| A|o-0-------0-------|-0-------0-------|-0-------0-----0-|-----0-----0-----o| E|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------| Rhythm Figure B Repeat Once G|------9-----9-----|-9-----9-----9---|-----7-----7-----|-7-----7-----7---| D|o---7---7-----7---|---7-----7-----7-|---6---6-----6---|---6-----6-----6-| A|o-0-------0-----0-|-----0-----0-----|-0-------0-----0-|-----0-----0-----| E|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| G|-----7-----7-----|-7-----7-----7---|-5---7---5---|---4-----5-----4-| D|---5---5-----5---|---5-----5-----5-|-3---3---3-3-|-----3-----3-----| A|-0-------0-----0-|-----0-----0-----|---0---0-----|-0-----0-----0---| E|-----------------|-----------------|-------------|-----------------| Rhythm Figure C G|-----4-----5-----|-4-----5-----4---|-----------------|-----------------| D|---3---3-----3---|---3-----3-----3-|-----4-----5-----|-7-----9-----7---| A|-5-------5-----5-|-----5-----5-----|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-0-0---0-0---0-0-|---0-0---0-0-----| G|-----4-----5-----|-4-----5-----4---|-----------------|-----------------| D|---3---3-----3---|---3-----3-----3-|-----4-----5-----|-7-----5---------| A|-5-------5-----5-|-----5-----5-----|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-0-0---0-0---0-0-|---0-0---0-0-----| Rhythm Figure D G|-----4-----5-----|-4-----5-----4---|-----------------|-----------------| D|---3---3-----3---|---3-----3-----3-|-----4-----5-----|-7-----9-----7---| A|-5-------5-----5-|-----5-----5-----|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-0-0---0-0---0-0-|---0-0---0-0-----| G|-----4-----5-----|-4-----5-----4---|-----------------|-----------------| D|---3---3-----3---|---3-----3-----3-|-----4-----5-----|-7-----10-----9--| A|-5-------5-----5-|-----5-----5-----|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-0-0---0-0---0-0-|---0-0---0-0-----| Play Rhythm Figure B Twice Play Rhythm Figure D Once G|--(5)-(4)-|-12-14-14-14~-------------|-(5)-(4)-|-5-7-7-7~----------| D|o---------|--------------12-12-12-14-|---------|----------5-5-5-7-o| A|o---------|--------------------------|---------|------------------o| E|----------|--------------------------|---------|-------------------| In 3/4 Rhythm Figure E Repeat 3 Times G|-------------------|-----------------5~-|------------------|-------------7-7-5~-| D|o---7-7-7-5-5-5-7~-|---7-7-7-5-5-5-7----|---7-7-7-5-5-5-7~-|---7-7-7-5-5-------o| A|o-0----------------|-0------------------|-0----------------|-0-----------------o| E|-------------------|--------------------|------------------|--------------------| In 4/4 Rhythm Figure F G|-----4-----5-----|-4-----5-----4---| D|---3---3-----3---|---3-----3-----3-| A|-5-------5-----5-|-----5-----5-----| E|-----------------|-----------------| Play Rhythm Figure E Twice Play Rhythm Figure F Once Play Rhythm Figure A Twice Repeat Once G|------ (5)-(4)--|---------(5)--------(7)--| D|o----7----------|-----(5)--------(7)-----o| A|o-0-------------|-2-3--------3-5---------o| E|----------------|-------------------------| There you have it. This one is pretty accurate. Myung plays this one on 5 string bass, but i've adapted it here for a 4 string so you might have to reach a little more. Special thanks to Justin Sepulveda for helping me out with those harmonics. Enjoy.
