Fields of the Nephilim - "Celebrate" bass line


Fields of the Nephilim - "Celebrate" bass line

This is easy as far as structure, but it's tricky for me to keep the fingers stretched for the whole 6 minute song, especially for the little pinky! The other tricky part is keeping it absolutely clean for the 1st half of the song, cuz it's ONLY voice & bass guitar. This is a COOL song if you haven't heard it!!

*use pick* bass line fades in

figure 1 - let 8th notes ring; repeat many times

G-------9----|
D----7-----7-|
A-0----------|
E------------|

right before the chord change, do this before figure 2

G-------9\--|
D----7------|
A-0---------|
E-----------|

figure 2

G----7-------7-------7------7-------------|
D-------------------------------------5^7-|
A-5-----5-5-----5-5----5-5-----5-5------|
E-------------------------------------------|

basically alternate between figures 1 & 2

figure 3 - after repeating figure 1, right before chorus do this:

G----9--------9-----|
D-7-----7--7--------|
A----------------7\-|
E--------------------|

figure 4 - chorus; repeat as needed

G-------------------------|
D-----5--------5---------|
A-3------3--------3---0-|
E-----------3------------|

a few times after this, you hear:

G------------|
D------------|
A----3--0---|
E-3----------|
