Band: Deftones— Vox/Guitar— Chino Moreno      
                Guitar—     Stephen Carpenter
                Drums—      Abe Cunningham
                Bass—       Chi Cheng
                Turns—      Frank Delgrado
Song: My Own Summer (Shove It)
Album: Around The Fur (Track 1)/Matrix Soundtrack (Track 9)
Tabbed By: George Godson ([email protected])
Tuning: Guitar: Drop Db (Db Ab Db Gb Bb eb) 
          Bass: Drop Db (Db Ab Db Gb)

— Drop the low E (sixth string, fourth on the bass) down to a D, 
then tune the whole thing (all the strings) down half a step (one interval).

This a great song thats easy to play and sounds great, especially with a band 
(the added bass line to the tab and vocals should make it alot easier if you wanna 
learn with your band, if you're in one). 
Good luck!

For guitar: 
Try to use downstrokes only and try to use a fat plec/pick for the right sound.
If you have a distortion pedal, use it!

The tempo is about 142 but it changes a bit during the song.
Timing 4/4 (four beats in a bar)

Lyrics:

Hey you, big star,
Tell me when it's over
Hey you, big mood,
Guide me to shelter
`cause i'm through
When the two hits the six
And it's summer
     ——
Cloud
Come (shove it)
Shove (shove it)
The sun (shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)
I think god is moving
It's tongue
There are no crowds in the streets
And no sun
The shade is a tool,
A device, a savior
See, i try
And look up 
To the sky
But my eyes burn
Cloud come (shove it)
Shove (shove it)
The sun (shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)
I think god is moving
It's tongue
There are no crowds in the streets
And no sun
In my own summer
     ——
Cloud come (shove it)
Shove (shove it)
The sun (shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)

Ratings would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

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! 🎸
