BTAB: What difference does it make The Smiths. Transcribed with the aid of Graham (gmann@amsta.leeds.ac.uk) This is a farily cool bass line to a great Smiths song. It's the version from Hatful of Hollow (starts ion C# Major). I'm not surwe if it's completyely right, but this is how our band played it at our last gig (With the 🏷Legendary Lenny Liggins of the Ukrainians on vocals).
Guitar intro (1) |----------------|---------------|-----9--9---8---|-----------------| |-----11-11--9---|----11--11--9--|----------------|------9--9---8---| |----------------|---------------|--7-------------|---9-------------| |--9-------------|--9------------|----------------|-----------------| The Devil will find work.... (can't remember the very first line!) Play however many times then: (2) |----------------|-----6-----6---|----------------|--4-----4-------| |------6------6--|--4-----4------|----------------|-----2-----2----| |--4-------4-----|---------------|-----6------6---|----------------| |----------------|---------------|--4------4------|----------------| So what difference does it make...... Play 2x then: (3) |---------------|-----6--------|---------------|-----6---------| |-----8---------|--------------|------8--------|---------------| |--------8---6--|--4-----------|---------8--6--|--4------------| |--6------------|--------4--5--|---6-----------|---------4--5--| |---------------|--6--5--------| |-----8---------|--------------| |--------8---6--|--------------| |--6------------|--------7--8--| It makes none....... Play 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 There, I think that's right, but I haven't got my guitar in front of me. In the "what difference bit" you could play octaves rather than fifth's but I thnk it sounds better like that. Anyway, enjoy...... Oh yeah, if anyones got any more cool bass lines (Smiths, James, Stone Roses etc) mail me.... Mike (phsmaa@leeds.ac.uk)
