"bad to the bone tabs" are wrong.
Hi, just after the tabs to “bttb” pls, tabs here dont sound right. I know their realy basic, but want to get it right. Thanks in advance.
Seems ok to me, walking blues in G, in its simplest form. Is your bass correctly tuned? I tried it in drop D just in case but its defo standard E A D G
Try this.
G ———————————————–
D ———————————————–
A ———————————- 3 —— 1 -
E – 3 —- 33 —- 33 —— 3 ——- 3 ——-
OK thanks all, I'll check my tuning etc and have a better listen as to what the bass is supposed to sound like, it may be different to what I expected all this time, I'm just a 6 month newbie and am lovin this bass, should have started years ago, cheers.
Welcome to the group anyway, there are many great people here who will tab your requests
Once you master this, try ‘Black Velvet’ by Allanah Myles, its very similar but gives you a bit more to do
^^^ True this. Black Velvet is in Eb, incidentally.

So Drop D required then
Actually, Black Velvet is a really good song to learn, there are no tabs for it on here, probably cos its ‘Too Easy’, but it has two finger exercise while maintaining a steady tempo, and the descending triplets are an essential part of any bassists arsenal
I've had Black Velvet on my to-do list for months, I just never get around to it. As for Drop D – no, not required. Drop D is standard tuning with only the 4th string tuned down a full step. Black Velvet is in Eb tuning (aka E-Flat tuning) which is all four strings tuned down 1/2 step.
