My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult — 13 Above The Night bass tabs



Artist: My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult
Song: 13 Above the Night
Album: 13 Above the Night (funny, huh?)
Tabber—guy: Dan Roemer/"woo"
whose e—mail address is still [email protected], bitches.

I'm sure this isn't right, but I'll try anyway. Y'know, just for kicks.
Oh yeah, and I completly skipped the solo—dingy at 2:10. I'm REALLY bad
at this and couldn't figure it out. If you can, please tell me! PLEASE?
I'm too lazy to notate how many times each part is played, but I think
the two main parts don't change but once throughout the entire song, so
that's pretty simple to remember and the intro and aforementioned "2:10
solo" are only played once. So without further adeu(I don't really know
what that word means. In fact, I don't even know if it's spelled
correctly. It does, however, make me feel smarter to use it...), "13 Above
the Night"...

About My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult

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! 🎸
