Tuning: E A D G
Song: But Anyway Artist: Blues Traveler Album: Blues Traveler (1990) Bassist: Bobby Sheehan Tabbed by LoudLon for Big BassTabs.com Standard tuning (EADG) NOTE: Normally I indicate 16th notes with an "s" above the bar, but as this song consists primarily of 16ths, to notate them all would leave the tab looking overly cluttered. Fortunately the bass is nice and clear in this song and you shouldn't have a problem making out note durations.
