Prince – Interactive (Bass Tab)

#----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------## From: Mark [email protected] by O(+ from the CD-ROM Interactive I. Performance Notes On this track from the O(+ Interactive CD-ROM, O(+ or Sonny T is playing a five string bass. However, I have no such instrument, and therefore have simulated a five string bass by tuning the low E string of my four string bass to D. A live version of this track from the KTS bootleg "Welcome 2 The Beautiful Experience," features very similar playing. The only difference is a slightly more aggressive tone, achieved by using the slap and pop technique, on the chorus section of the song. At the start of the song, Rhythm Figure 1 is played by the guitar two times before the bass enters. The bass enters at 00:23, playing Rhythm Figure 1. The guitar solo section is carried by the bass. This progression looks like this: 1. INTRO section 2. VERSE section (w/o the last measure) 3. VERSE section (w/o the last measure) The Outro, instead of being another rhythm figure, is simply two notes that signal the end of the song. II. Tablature 00:00 (Hello, welcome to the dawn, playground for the.....) 00:12 1. INTRO 00:23
