"Two Step" by the Dave Matthews band from the album "Crash"
Bass line transcribed by Brian Cieszynski (Spitfire@ods.ods.net)
There are a couple existing versions of this bassline on the
OLGA, but I sat down with sheet music and a video of Stefan
playing this song and the following tab I see as the most
correct by far. This tab is set for a 5-string, but
just ignore the bottom line for this song, as it is played on
a 4-string. The 5-string frame is set into my computer and
I didn't remove the bottom line for this song, and as I said,
just ignore it. Enjoy!
Intro-Guitar, Bass Tacet
