Song Title: "Another Brick in the Wall pt.2" corrected version.
Artist: Pink Floyd
——————————————————————————————————————————————
This is a corrected versoin of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the
Wall pt2" .  I've also figured out the song right before it, "The Happiest
Days of our Lives."  I love the way these two songs just go together, so I
felt that it was appropriate that I figure both bass lines out.  The author
of the original tab posted in the bta was John Cooke.
Tuning: Dropped "D"      I notice that Roger Waters seems to like this
tuning and many of the songs on The Wall and other albums by Pink Floyd
are in this tuning.
NOTE:  The reverb effect can be simulated by pulling off and hammering on
between the note indicated and the note in parentheses.
"Another Brick in the Wall pt.2"    Repeat 4X

NOTE:  Then repeat the whole song starting from the single bar line at the
beginning of "Another Brick in the Wall pt.2."  Keep going until you reach
the single bar line that has "To Guitar Solo" above.  Then go straight to
the next part written below.  This part actually starts a measure before the
solo.

Then, as I wrote in the tab, just repeat that until the end.  Well,
that's it.  I hope that you find this accurate, and that it enlightens you
in some way.

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! 🎸
