Converge — Tremor bass tabs



Song:Tremor
Band:Converge
Instrument: Bass
Tabber: Joey

This is my first tab.. rate it.

I think it's in a drop D tuning (DADG)

Intro:
G———————————————————————————
D——————————————————————————— x3
A———————————————————————————
D—3—2—0—0—3—2—0—0—1—0———————

Let the first 2 notes ring out just a bit
and slap a palm mute after the opens so they
dont ring out and it'll give it the effect of
the song.(Don't palm mute any other notes)

After that play this
Thing After Intro:
G————————————————————
D————————————————————
A————————————————————
D—3—2—0—0—3—2—0—0—3—2
(Let the first 2 notes ring out a bit, but not the others)

Verse:

G—————————————————————————————
D————————————————————————————— x8
A—————————————————————————————
D—0—0—0——0—0—0——0—0—0——0—0—3—2
(Palm mute only the open notes here too)


Thing after first verse:
G———————————————————————————
D———————————————————————————
A———————————————————————————
D—0—0—3—2—0—0—3—2———————————
(It's kinda like the thing after the intro but not the whole thing)


After that play the Intro as a verse for 8 times
Verse2:
G———————————————————————————
D——————————————————————————— x8
A———————————————————————————
D—3—2—0—0—3—2—0—0—1—0———————

And after that the thing after the first verse, is now the thing after the second verse
Thing after second verse:
G———————————————————————————
D———————————————————————————
A———————————————————————————
D—0—0—3—2—0—0—3—2———————————

That's everything in order, its a short song only a 1:02 long, thats pretty much it.

Im not sure if its all 100% correct, but its seems pretty good.

How to Read Bass Tabs

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:

1. The Basics

  • Strings and Frets:

    Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:

    • The top line is the highest-pitched string (G on a 4-string bass).
    • The bottom line is the lowest-pitched string (E on a 4-string bass).

    Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:

    G|-------------------|
    D|-------------------|
    A|---3---------------|
    E|-------------------|

    This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.

2. Common Techniques

  • Hammer-On (h):

    Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.

    G|-------------------|
    D|-------5h7---------|
  • Pull-Off (p):

    Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.

    G|-------------------|
    D|-------7p5---------|
  • Slide (/ or \):

    Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.

    G|-------------------|
    D|-------5/7---------|

3. Advanced Techniques

  • Bend (b): Push the string up or down to raise the pitch. Example: G|-------7b9---------|
  • Vibrato (~): Shake the string slightly after playing a note to create a vibrating sound. Example: G|-------7~----------|
  • Muted Notes (x): Rest your finger lightly on the string without pressing a fret and pluck for a percussive "click" sound.

4. Rhythm and Timing

Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.

5. Slap and Pop

  • Slap (s): Strike the string with the side of your thumb for a percussive sound.
  • Pop (p): Pull the string away from the fretboard and let it snap back.

Practice Makes Perfect

Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
