• Song:

    Pass The Hatchet I Think Im Goodkind Intro

  • Artist:

    Yo La Tengo

The bass line goes like this (I've tabbed it for guitar, but  it's same fingering 
on bass):

G ---------|
D ---------|
A --3-5----|
E -5-5---5-|

*played for whole song, with a few slight accents and fills at points*

The guitar goes like this:

e---------------------------|
B---------------------15----|
G---------------------------|
D--xx12-----------12--------|
A--xx12-----------12--------|
E--xx10---------10----------|
      ^ let this chord ring

e------------------------|
B-------------------13---|
G------------------------|
D--10----------10--------|
A--10----------10--------|
E--8----------8----------|
   ^  again, let it ring

the best hand position is to be hitting the notes on the B string with your little
while barring the the A and D strings with your middle finger.  if it's a bit painful 
can
out the notes on the D string and just fret the A string with your middle finger.  It's 
full sounding, but comfier if you're having trouble.

the solo lasts for the whole song and appears improvised, so I can't be bothered.  if
want to work it out start with some pentatonic scaling and go from there.

that probably wasn't note for note right, but as I said it's a start. i suck at guitar, 
sue me.
