Of course, you can play<br/> the bass parts on a regular guitar- fretting and tuning is the same- its just<br/> one octave lower on a bass. <br/> <br/> <br/> I kept having trouble finding the right key for the vocal. Start on a 'd'.<br/> Here's the melody for the first line: <br/> <br/> d c b b d c b b d c b b a b g <br/> Take off my shield carry my sword I won't need it any more<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Any comments/improvements, etc. welcome.<br/> <br/> Now go find yourself a bass player!<br/> <br/> <br/> Nic<br/> <br/> Nic.Boulton@mercury.co.uk<br/> <br/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
