Comments on this version of the 'B.Y.O.B.' bass tab

Malakian17Unknown Date

you should try tabbing soad songs in soad tuning. i.e.: C,G,C,F

aaronbassUnknown Date

The Pre-Chorus riff should start with

2-3-2-0 where the first three notes are played as fast triplets, listen to the song and you'll get it. Rest of the tab is perfect.

FuckTheSystem123Unknown Date

ok...the base notes seem about right..but hes definitly playing bar chords through that thing..thats the only problem i see

Chrishi87Unknown Date

malakian...the whole CD is in Db Ab Db Gb

its their new tuning for guitar and bass...Daron said that in a interview...so all the tabs of mezmerize schould be in Dropped D Flat

it would be hard to play it on Dropped C because you will have to shredding overthe fretboard so fast ^^

Bassist13Unknown Date

great job man, how long did this take you?

streetbass7Unknown Date

i think the prechorus part and chorus part goes like

...tablecloth...

Db|----------------------------3-2-0

Ab|------------------3-3--0-2-3-

Db|-0-2-3-5-0-3-0-3-2-

then

Db|-0-5-7-8-0-7-0-5-3-2

just a hunch because i hear the open/lower notes between the higher notes in these riffs. listen carefully

esuveeUnknown Date

yea guy you stole this from bassmasta.net so dont try it again buddy because you stole it!

Hearts1988Unknown Date

well done, i spent ages trying to tab this one. I got about half way through. this seems to fit in most places so i'll try it out and God bless you if it works

choke383Unknown Date

Good Tab, but here

mcrfan05Unknown Date

i just got done listening to the song and u play riff one twice before you move one to then next part

sam110489Unknown Date

this song can be played in either drop D flat drop C or even drop A it doesn't matter what tuning your in whats the point in doing a cover song that is exactly the same as th originaltune it to what you like

spikytater6989Unknown Date
