"My Mom Still Cleans My Room"
MxPx (Magnified Plaid)
-Life In General-
Copyright 1996 Tooth and Nail Records

Mike plays a lot of little riffs on his bass that
make MxPx bass lines pretty unique. I'll tab each
riff as we come to it, which means you should read
the whole file through before trying to play it ;]
PLEASE NOTE!!! Considering how fast Mike's fingers fly,
I won't put every single time he plays a note, but if you
listen carefully you should be able to figure it out.
(Sorry if this gets long, I'm trying to keep it narrow for
low-res users.)

OUTRO
--Please note--> Riff a is different from the guitar part!

Outro Riff a
This is straight sixteenths (you should play each note eight times)
G|------------|
D|------------|
A|--7--9--10--|
E|------------|

Outro Riff b
This one is not sixteenths ;) but eight note triplets
G|--------------------|
D|--------------------|
A|-----3--2--0--3--5--|
E|--3-----------------|

Here's how the whole outro goes:

Riff a
Riff b, hit an E [7th fret on the A string] and fall
E E E E [open E string] -- play em short cause the guitar's palm muted
Riff b
Riff a
Riff b
Riff a
Riff b, hit an E [7th fret on the A string] and fall
