Sorry if this doesn't help. Try the other instruments forum for more help...

Yes I know you've all been waiting for this. Here it is. This is the way I play, any comments suggestions frustrations are greatly appreciated.

Code: Select all

Two Step (tabbed for 5 string bass)

Intro
|------------------------------------------
|----------------------------3------------
|--5----------------------------------5---
|------------3-------5--------------------
|---------------------------(6)-----------

Note: You can use the lower octave hence the 6 on the low B string, or just a 1 on the E. Stefan goes in between the two notes. Repeat phrase as needed.

Interlude:
|------------------
|------------------
|--------------3--
|----5-----5------
|--3----3---------

This is the part in between the intro and the verse. Again if you don’t have a 5 string use octaves. It repeats kind of quickly about 4 times and then goes straight into the verse.

Verse:
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|--3---3---3---3--------------------------------------------------------*------
|----------------------5--7-7-7-7-5-3----------------------3-3-3-3-3-1-----
|----5---5---5---5----------------------5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-----------------3--
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|---------------------------------------
|---------------------------------------
|---3---3---3---3--5--7-7-7-7-5-3--
|-1---1---1---1------------------------
|----------------------------------------

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|----------------------3-3-3-3-3-1------------1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-------------
|-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-----------------3-1-1-1-1--------------------3-3-3-3-1-
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the tab suggests this all goes by fairly quickly. After each completed verse play the interlude four times, unless you’re going to the chorus.
*I am not sure if that section is 4 or 5 notes long. You decide.

Chorus:
|---------------------------------------------
|---------------------------------------------
|--------3--3-3-3---------1--1-1-1-0------
|-1--1--------------3--3-----------------3--
|----------------------------------------------

The chorus rhythm is a little tricky. The rhythms designated by the x--x-x-x, are kind of like a quarter note with a triplet after it. Also I suggest mixing it up a little. Try some of these little fills, and just be creative. Also play the interlude after the chorus and before the verse starts again.

|---------------------------------------3-2------
|----3------------------5-------------------3---
|--------3--3-3-3----------1--1-1-1-----------
|-1------------------3---------------------------
|-------------------------------------------------

The Jam

The Two Step jam is very versatile. On red rocks its just Timmy soloing over the chorus chords. On other jams such as the one LS, Butch goes off over the main melody. Really everything you need to know is right within the song. Just work off what you know and improvise.
