BAND: Detour
TABBED BY: Kris Morton
Tune Down 1/2 Step; Eb Ab Db Gb
The whole song is just one long riff that plays throughout the song. Not really broken
down into chorus, intro, verse etc except for one bit which will be known as the ‘bass solo’ 🙂 *so* proud of it. So its been tabbed exactly in this way but broken
down into different riffs to make it easier to understand. Best played with absolutly
no gaps (and very fast). Hard to play if your singing at the same time to, but because
I like this bass line so much I think I can forget the words when playing it live. 🙂

Wow, that took me ages to tab! The amount of times I picked up my bass to try and
remember how I played it – lucky that I scribbled some of it down on paper when I
was tabbing it 🙂 If your a bassist, enjoy playing it… I’m really really proud of
this bass line, too bad all of mine can’t be like this (but I am the vocalist too,
and its pretty hard to play a complicated one and sing at the same time!).
Thought I’d just add this on the end if it helps (just a rough guide to suit you people
who believe a proper song has everything):
Intro:1,2,1,3
Verse:5,5
Chorus:6,7,6,8,6,9,10
Verse:5,5
Chorus:6,7,6,8,6,9,10
Bass solo
Chorus:6,7,6,8,6,9,10
Thats just a rough guide, but if it helps, it helps. I love this tab so much that I could
lick it to taste, but then again, tabs don’t have a taste…or do they?
Magic!
