- From: The Mighty Tabster <habbinga@ucsu.Colorado.EDU>
- Subject: The Beatles -- Blackbird
-
- Well, in one of my fits of insanity, I arranged the Beatles' tune "Blackbird"
- for bass. The following is the arrangement, which combines the vocal line
- and the guitar line. I've worked on it on and off for about a week, and can
- play it almost up to speed. You will notice that some of the rhythms don't
- add up per measure. This is due to some notes in the chords having different
- lenghts, which I can't show in tab. Also, '$' means "D.S. Sign" and '@' is
- a fermata. The arrangement is in the original key (G), which means I
- use 24 frets. If you don't have 24 frets on your bass, just move everything
- down a couple of frets.
-
- Enjoy!
