Breathe Into Me Bass Tabs - Red @ BigBassTabs.com

alright guys this is my first tab so go easy. this is by a new band called Red, a
rock band that kinda reminds me of evenescence and 12 stones. the first thing you need to know
this is in drop C# tuning on the guitars but if you have a 5 string bass you can play it in standard
for the intro there is no guitar, simply bass and keyboard
then it moves to the verse
g————————————————————————————————————————|
d————————————————————————————————————————|
a————————————————————————————————————————|      X3
e———————54——————75——————54——————75———————|
b——2222————2222————2222————2222——————————|
from there the song moves to a second part of the verse where the bass follows the kick
while playing a low C# on the b string. it then plays the intro again twice and moves to
chorus
Chorus line: C#, A,E,B
it plays throught this then back through the verse and chorus again, after this it moves
a keyboards solo in the bridge where the bass will play
g—————————————————————|
d—————————————————————|
a—————————————————————|      X?
e—————————————————————|
b———2222——5—3—2———————|
g————————————————————————————————|
d————————————————————————————————|
a————————————————————————————————|

g———————————————————|
d———————————————————|
a———————————————————|
e———————————————————|
b——3333——2222—5—4—3—|
after this they play the chorus twice, back into the intro, where they end with an
scream. so there you go, enjoy.

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! 🎸
