The Smiths Barbarism Begins at Home Bassline

One of the coolest Basslines ever written! Enough said. When I play this I am a Funky Mother.. The camera cut out half way through. Never realised it's so long cos ya kinda get lost in it.. I edited it together badly..

Ah that looks a lot easier than the way I play it. Do you have all the strings tuned up a step?

[sonofdrcross]

Yep

[korhan]

fender jazz bass?

[sonofdrcross]

p bass

[XanBcoo]

You play this really differently than I do. Do you have the strings tuned down or something?

[sonofdrcross]

I tuned it to F sharp. Maybe thats it?

[fritzenberg]

you're right mate,this is one of the best basslines ever written! everyone bangs on about morrissy/marr all the time while overlooking one of the best rhythm sections of all time.Andy Rourke is well underaterd!

[Karmoon7]

This is the type of bass line that makes you want to learn bass.

[alkalineammo]

[thesmithsmad]

can you send me the tabs for that please ?

[TheBassplayah]

Thanks I just learned it from ya...Coolness

[micahnewman]

Nice! I learned this bassline years ago but never realized it was in that tuning: all strings tuned up a whole-step, from what it looks like. That would have saved me a lot of finger pain!

[BruisedArcade09]

spot on

[alchezifon]

what strings do u use?

[kutbaag]

@fritzenberg

maybe true for a part, but Marr wrote the bassline. Andy just played it.

[Eltroim]

[simmy2004]

[imiciggs]
