Gary Numan - CarsAWESOME song, listening to it one day boppin' me headand thought "In by the Platforms of Botsy, That bass line must be PLAYED!"SO HERE IT IS, MOTHALICKAS! My first tab, and what better way tostart than with some oldies lol.Tuning: EADGTabbed by: Sambo (beckinghamcooks@hotmail.com)Difficulty: Beginner() - Numbers inside brackets are ghost notes. I use ghost notes like"Optional notes" if you will, ones that aren't necessary but make thebassline sound a hell of a lot cooler (yet sometimes more complex).The timing is kind of illustrated here, I assume you know the song well orhave it available for reference listening, so you can nail the timing.Note: Unlike a lot of musicians I still remember what it's like to bea beginner and what you need to help you learn, so there will be sometips on how to play some sections of the song.Synth time!Main riffG|--------------------| D|--------------------| A|-5-4----------------| E|-----3-5-(5)-(5)(5)-| x 4 G|--------------------| D|--------------------| A|------2---------2---| E|-0-h3---3--0-h3---3-| x 1Play this twice, thenG|------| D|------|A|-17\5-|E|------| Do this (QUICKLY, and in time, of course) as you go into theChorus. Then just repeat the main riff twice again.Bounce time!{A}G|------------------------------------| D|----12---------------12----1514-----| A|-------12--141514-------12----------| E|-10---------------10----------------|{B} 1 2 1G|--------------------------------------| The bit in [] is played really fast. D|----12-------------------[------12]---| the 1 2 1 above it is your fingers A|-------12--141514--------[10-12---]---| to use (index is 1, middle is 2) E|-10---------------10-10---------------| for all you players like me whouse fingers. Also I bar the 12 tohit both the notes without havingawkward hand positions.Play {A} again{C}G|---------------------------------------| D|----12---------------12-------------12-| A|-------12--141514-------12----10-12----| E|-10---------------10-------10----------|Now you know all the parts, blast yourself/audience back to the 70's/80'sWell, My first tab is done.So, this is my first tab. It's correct as far as I can hear, But anysuggestions/corrections would be greatly appreciated. (I'm only 16 with a yearsand tabbed this song in 4 minutes at 12:30 AM! So there has GOT to be a mistake somewhere lol)Sayonara!- sambo (beckinghamcooks@hotmail.com)
