They took this one off for some reason, so I put it back up.

Song: Dig
Band: Mudvayne
Inst: Bass

Tabbed by:Greg

If you want to actually hear my tabs, download Guitar Pro 4, (one of those tabbing
programs) and you can download all of my Mudvayne tabs on www.mysongbook.com!!!

  Hey guys, I got a ton of time on my hands now so now I'm gonna tab every Mudvayne
song I know because I've never seen a tab on the net thats close to how I play em.
So I figured I'd start with good old Dig.
  Another thing, I play lead guitar and I've been playing for about 6 years now, but
I love playing Mudvayne on bass. So I just learned every Mudvayne song off the new
album, and now I can tell what the bass lines are almost exactly, maybe its because
I know what the guitar's doing, and I can kinda "cancel out" the guitar sound. So if
anyone has access to guitars n stuff, I suggest you try it. It helps a ton.

And if anyone has any questions, comments, or requests, please feel free to email me
@ [email protected] or if ya want, add me on msn and I could play some
stuff through the comp, so ya know how it sounds or if your confused or anything.
THX

  Ok, anyway less talk, more sweet Dig tabs.

Oh yeah, If you wanna see a sweet Dig video (It shows Ryan like the whole verse, real
close up) go on Kazaa and download Dig Live in Germany. Its by far the best Dig video
I've seen, besides live of course.

Tuning:
E                 s=slap        this is like the only mudvayne song that has
B                 p=pluck       consistent timing, so I put in the 4 beat thing
F#                         
B

Intro      (I spread it out more so it doesnt get so cluttered)
                                  v = 4 beats (to make it even easier)

MSN thing if ya want, I dont mind

Greg


If you need me to play the fills like slower or something, so ya know how to do them,
(now that i know em like PERFECT), talk to me on
msn, and hopefully you have speakers so i can play for ya!!!


If you have the dig dvd, i strongly advise you to change the angle (so it shows ryan
the whole time) and watch the studio fills, you WILL SEE that they're dead on.

He does some of the fills different live so here they are)

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! 🎸

Why don’t you have like your method of each note like the s=slap or p=pluck like directly underneath the note it goes to? I’m assuming under the tab where you got spss…Ect underneath the tab that’s what you do on each note? It’s been like 20 years since I’ve used tabs but I was thinking about this song tonight and stumbled on your stuff. Or is this how tabs are written now? Comment back and lmk please thanks bro follow me on insta @d._finesse later
