Holy Diver

[Yngwie 4String]

Can somebody hit me with some DIO Tab for Holy Diver PLS and THNX in advance.

The problem is I dont own the song, I can only hear it at my library, and they wont let me take my bass in. So I have to memorise the line first. then try to go home and play it, and Im good, but not quite that good... yet.

You can't check-out tapes and CDs from your library and take them home? I don't know where you live but that's one lame library system.

what part of the song are you havin troubles with? its actually an easy song to play not to mention fun. it starts with C on the A string then to D then D#. you can play ithe whole song in first position. killer tune. gotta love dio.

From there, if you can't cop the lines by ear then just practice playing bass. Learn your scales and such so that your ears and fingers develop, and soon you'll be able to hear and play stuff like that with no problem at all.

Dio rules. Have fun.

Shame on you. As a moderator you should know better and abide by the rules of the forum.

Thanks. I'm not a moderator in this forum.

Hey Smash, didn't mean to come down so hard and this isn't even my thread. But sometimes it's a little frustrating trying to use the tab forum with guys suggesting that we just listen and work it out for ourselves.

Tabs are just a tool, and some people are better at picking out baselines than others. Yes, learning bass lines by ear is a valuable skill that should be worked on, but sometimes we just need to learn a song quickly and need some help.

I remember this song from guitar or bass player yrs ago {like late 80s} ALMOST everyone plays this starting in C {3rd fret A string}
it was actually B {2nd fret a string} 2-4-5 if you want it played the "right way" guess it depends on your tuning to. Not that hard a tune really though.....come to think of it, I haven't heard Dio in a LONG time....god he can sing his a$$ off!!!!!

[Yngwie 4String]

yes the man can sing no doubt about that. I got the line down. it wasnt hard at all once I just looked at it a bit. THNX guys.
