Hello Time Bomb by Matthew Good Band Bass tab Standard tuning The rhythm is very easy but difficult to time with the drums so listen in with the song I'm not sure if the bassist from MGB plays like this but I use a pick when the guitar doesn't have the flanger pedal on and strum when it does to add to the effect-if you'd like to do this then you can hear when the guitar does the non-flanged sound-this happens in: All choruses Guitar (or really pedal!) solo The last ending riff After lines: Verse 2: "We'll see if I'm kidding..." Verse 2: "Did it on Ridlin..." Verse 2: "I got me some good grades..." Verse 3: "We'll see if I'm emperor..." (this has a bit of a bridge part in it-see the end of the tab) Verse 3: "The Devil's own sugar smacks..." Verse 3: "Down at the 'Radio Shack'..." (again a bit of a funky bridge) This is the main riff you hear so often: G: -------------------------------------------- D: -------------------------------------------- A: ---2-2--4-4---4-------------------------- E: --------------------------4--4--0--0---0- The pre-chorus: G: -------------------------------------------- D: -------------------------------------------- A: -------------------------------------------- E: ----4--4---0--0--0---0---0--0---0---0- G: --------------------------------------------- D: --------------------------------------------- A: -----------------------------------2--2---2 E: -0--0--0---0---0---0---0---0------------- G: --------------------------------------------- D: --------------------------------------------- A: -2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2 E: --------------------------------------------- The chorus: (The "Hello time bomb..." part and the initial chorus are the same bass and guitar parts) G: --------------------------------------------- D: --------------------------------------------- A: -----4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4-------------- E: -----------------------------------5--5--5- G: --------------------------------------------- D: --------------------------------------------- A: --------------------------------------------- E: -5--5--5--5--5---0--0---0--0--0--0---0- G: -------------------------------------------- D: -------------------------------------------- A: -------2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---- E: --0----------------------------------------- This pattern is repeated twice for the initial chorus and then twice again for the "Hello time bomb" section) During guitar solo play: G: ----------------------------------------- D: ----------------------------------------- A: ---4-4---------------------------------- E: ---------5---4----0---2---2---2------- After "We'll see if I'm emperor..." G: ---------------------------------------- D: ---------------------------------------- A: ---------------------------------------- E: -------4--4--0--0--0----------------- G: ---------------------------------------- D: ---------------------------------------- A: --------2----------2--2---4--4--4---- E: --0------------------------------------- After "The Devil's own sugar smacks..." G: ----------------------------------------- D: ----------------------------------------- A: ----------------------------------------- E: ------4--4--5--5--5---------5---2---- G: ----------------------------------------- D: ----------------------------------------- A: -----------------2---2---4----4---4--- E: ----------------------------------------- And then after the end chorus they play the chorus riff twice more then goes once again: G: ----------------------------------------- D: ----------------------------------------- A: ----------------------------------------- E: ---------4--4----0--0---0------------- That's it, it's quite simple to play If there are any errors/misconceptions/subliminal messages or any comments/death threats please send them to me, Lord Whitey the Magnificent at i_dUNNO16@Hotmail.com.
