Tuning: B E A D
Song: We Built This City Artist: Starship Album: Knee Deep in the Hoopla (1985) Bassist: Pete Sears Tabbed by LoudLon 5-string standard tuning (BEADG) PERFORMANCE NOTE: This song is mostly played slap-style. Rather than notate every slap, you shouldn't have a problem making them out on your own, as the bass is pretty clear in this song.
