Tiger Army
Bass Tab
Tabbed by Mothra
Well to start off,the chords used in the song are C# A#m F# and G#.
And the bass simply follows using Fifths. Which really is only two notes
at a time, the root note and the ‘fifth’ which is the note above the root.
Example for C# on the A string, the note above is G# on the E string.
It may sound complicated, but it is very simple. If you listen to the song you’ll notice
back-and-forth bass line, only two notes per chord. Bass is very easy to play, I’ll
you.
For C# Sharp use this…..A#m………F#………G#
G———————–|G———|G———|G———|
D———————–|D———|D———|D———|
A-4—4—————–|A-1—1—|A—4—4-|A—6—6-|
E—4—4—————|E—1—1-|E-2—2—|E-4—4—|
Those are the riffs for the chords, just plug them in where you need to.
