Artist: Save Ferris
Title: Goodbye
Album: It Means Everything
BassTab Transcribed By Rattman.
This is my first attempt at a Tablature, and probably a real hard song
to start out with. I'm sure theres some mistakes and missing bits in it
but theres hardly any Ska on OLGA so I figure somebody's got to do it.
This is a great jazzy Ska song by Save Ferris, the bass is probably the
hardest part to play since you have to make so many changes.
This song sounds best on a muted bass so turn your tone down all the way.

Save Ferris was a ska punk band formed circa 1995 in Orange County, California.[citation needed] Their name is a reference to the 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
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:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your 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.
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
G|-------------------|
D|-------5h7---------|
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
G|-------------------|
D|-------7p5---------|
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
G|-------------------|
D|-------5/7---------|
G|-------7b9---------|
G|-------7~----------|
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.
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! 🎸
