Sip For Strength

bass line




Alright, a very cool song. THe album version is in E-Flat tuning . You can actually play along with the tab I'm putting up (standard tuning), although it's obviously easier to keep up for us "beginner to intermediate" bassists to tune down! Just tune down and move up one fret.

Oh yeah, and at times this song calls for "dicking around", so do so.

On riff C, it goes well with the cd to slide up the higher octave note and slide up one fret (from 6th fret to 7th) when playing with the cd.
