Title: KRYPTONITE
Artist: Three Doors Down
Lyrics: Brad Arnold
Music: Matt Roberts / Todd Harrell
bTAB: S. Swanson (cygnus2@cygnus2.com)
I'm still not sure if this song has a bass in it at all! The guitar tab
at OLGA by "John Doe" states the use of 4 guitars. In any case, I wanted
to play it on the bass, so this is what I came up with- try it. The beat
count above the tab is my attempt to show some kind of timing.(:=repeat)
Play this over the Intro, Verse 1 and Verse 2. Hold the notes on the
first, third and fourth down beats.

Play this over the break between Verses 1 and 2 in sync with the drums-
note: If your drummer doesn't play this beat, play to whatever he is playing.

For the chorus, it sounds nice and chunky to play each beat. (I also
"release mute" with my left hand on all but the open notes and the
F#'s at the end of the riff)

Verse 3 starts out the same as Verse 1 and 2, then changes to follow the
pattern of the chorus when the vocals kick in.
First play this: Then play this over the vocals:

After the second chorus comes the guitar solo. Rather than going back to
the same old single notes over the changes, I strum power chords on the
upper part of the neck. Here are the positions. Strum once on the first
down beat and again on the next two up beats like this:
boom-ba..ba boom-ba..ba

(which is just the chorus sung as a verse).

the B at the 14th fret. My first tabbing attempt so, Good Luck!
