Third Stone From The Sun Tab

[jocomo]

I've pretty much learned the bass to "Third Stone from the Sun" by Jimi Hendrix but there are a few parts I want to verify and check the fingering on. I looked at all the tablature I could find using Google and it was all WAY off! Can anyone direct me to the CORRECT tab for this song?

Thanks!

Thanks!

which parts.i'll look them up

OK, the first part I'm pretty sure is E, D, A, E but should the E be played as an open E or the E on the A string? It sounds like the E on the A string. This pattern then moves to a different position for a few measures when Jimi does a "G" thing, so I think the bass plays,
G, F, C, G...gut in what position? Next, during the cool, two string main theme, sounds like the bass is playing E E E, G flat, E, G flat, B, B, B, B...but want to verify notes and position.

THe next pattern appears to be B, D, E....B, D, E...for quite a while.

The final pattern I think is essentially an E, with a climb from a lower note: need clarification on these notes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to nail this song.

For this part, here is my proposal (I tried several way to play it, but this one is the easier one for me)

For the other points, I have no idea :-P



G|--------|4444464-|
D|-----4-6|-------6|
A|77777-7-|--------|
E|--------|--------|

Jim, thanks - I'll try it out.
Kenstee, bassmasta had the wrong notes/tab for 3rd Stone - I'm pretty sure it's wrong.

Don't know if you got this already, but here are the parts. If you can make them out. The first part is open E,D(a string),A(d string),D(a string). The change is the same pattern and starts on the open A, being A,G,D,G. The octave guitar part starts on the A string seventh fret (eighth notes) E,E,E,E,E,F#,E,G#, ( slide from E to G#) then to B(d string) eleventh fret B,B,B,B,B,C#,B,G#,(back to the A string for the G#). Then the next part is (a string) E,E,E,E, (e string) G#,A,A#,A#,B,B, (a string) C#,C#,D,D,D#,D#, then back to the octave guitar part. The last part is E(a string),B (e string),D(a string). Like this/ E, BDE, BDE, and so on. That's a real fun tune to play. I've been playing it since I started 18 years ago! It's especially fun to play when your guitar player is willing to wreck his guitar at the end to get the sounds right.
