FINGER ELEVEN - "First Time - Five String" Tablature

First Time - Finger Eleven

Most people play this song in Drop D and then half a step down…
(Db Ab Db Gb or C# G# C# F#) But, I find it a pain in the ass tuning my bass inbetween songs when I'm jammin with friends, or just having fun playing with the cd. So, I decided to tab this out in STANDARD 5 String Tuning. It may not be as fun or easy this way, but I like playing it like this instead of tuning down…

h = Hammer On
p = Pull Off
/ = Slide To Next Note

Start - Main Riff

D|-------------------------------------------------------------
A|----------------------------------------4--------------------
E|-------------------------------------------------------------
B|--4-4-xx-x-4-4-xx-x-4-4-xx-x-----------------222222----------

Verse

Most tabs have this part wrong. I'm sure this is CORRECT.
You don't have to pull-off if you dont want to.

Pre-Chorus

A|-------------------------------------
E|------------------------------------- Or play open E, whatever you like.
B|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------- Just a bunch of 5's, or open E.



Chorus

Interlude

Not actually how many times you play the notes, but you get the idea.

G|------------------------------------------------
D|-----------------------------4-4-4-4---1-1-1-1--
A|-1-1-1-1-1---4-4-4-4-4--------------------------
E|------------------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------------------

G|----------------------------------------------
D|-------------------------4-4-4---3--3--1-1-1--
A|-1-1-1-1-4-4-4-4------------------------------
E|----------------------------------------------
B|----------------------------------------------
And that's it, I hope this helps all the lazy people like me who hate tuning different.
This is an AWESOME song!
