Drink O Drive O - Princess Bass Tabs - Misc @ BigBassTabs.com


so, this is my bands song, called princess.
just bang it out all slappy and stuff, 
cos thats how i play it and most of all, enjoy.....

intro
g——————————————————|
d——————————————————|
a——————————————————|  x4
e——2—1—0—1—0—2—1—0—|
play the intro through once without any other instrument 
and then the other three times with all instruments 
BANGING it out as loud as possible.

then the verse. its just me and the drums
playing and the vocals are very quiet, like theyre
not really there, just background noise
verse:
g—————————————————————————————————————|
d—————————————————————————————————————|
a—————————————————————————————————————| x6
e——0—0—0—0——4—4—4—4——3—3—3—3——2—2—1—1—|

the chorus erupts like a mammoth wave of sound
be careful with this bit, its easy to get wrong.
singing and screaming are both here.i scream every second line
and klare screams every other, then we both sing the last 2 
lines in harmony before i finish the chorus off with
one big long scream
chorus:
g——————————————————————————————————|
d——————————————————————————————————|
a——————————————————————————————————|  x6
e——5—5—5———3—3—3——2——2—1—0——2—1—0——|

for the solo its easy to just improvise and 
mess around with different things, but
to be able to mosh properly along with it,
i prefer a simple little chunky riff
solo riff:
g——————————————————————————————————|
d——————————————————————————————————|
a——————————————————————————————————|  x6
e——0—0—0—0—5—5—5—5—3—3—3—3—0—0—0—0—|  

so the song order is:
#intro
#verse
#chorus
#verse
#chorus
#solo
#chorus
#intro riff x 4. (last time the bass plays it alone)

im too lazy to write the lyrics but on my next one ill have
all of the lyrics to a few of my songs... please put me 
through... x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.

tabbed by me.

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! 🎸
