This is the tab to the first part of Stu Hamm's live solo, as
recorded on "The Urge", as transcribed by me. This is the first 2
minutes — basicaly all the "Surely the Best" based material, up to
the start of "Linus and Lucy". I've started work on the later bits,
and may post them at some point in the future — however the rest has
some _realy_ dificult parts. In the mean time, the section
presented here is a logically complete unit.

Notes
1 Section A is played using tapped harmonics — Very easy, but
it sounds brilliant. Fret the bracketed notes, then tap the written
notes with your right hand. As with all this tab, phrasing must be
got from the record.

2 In Section B the first three or so noet of each phrase are
played with the left hand, and the rest is tapped, or slided with
the right hand. The exact details are pretty easy to work out.

3 The last section is actually pretty tricky. Right hand
plays the quavers on the top two strings (I've only written the
first two of each group).Left Hammers on the melody/bass line. Some
of the rhythms are quite tricky (good practise for "L&L").

4 There are two notes written as "EX2". These are bottom D's
played using the Kubicki Extender. If you don't have a Kubicki you
will either have to a) skip this section, b)detune, and work out the
new section or c) use a hipshot, and hit it at just the right time.


If you find this of interest, then mail me and it may spur me to
type in more of my stuff.

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! 🎸
