I'M EIGHTEEN - Alice Cooper
Tabbed by: ddeloach
Bass
Tuning: EADG Standard
Most tabs assume the bass must be duplicating the guitar but in fact the bass
line is much more interesting than that, with a nice counter melody starting
the intro/chorus. The tone is vintage 70s-- more fundamental note than treble,
hence not quite as articulate sounding as modern tones. This makes the otherwise
quite busy bass line avoid leaping out in front of the mix until needed
(the riffs on the G string for example).
