Dave Matthews Band Rapunzel (Bass Tab) ------------------- transcribed by Justin Marks
Here's Stefan Lessard's bass part for "Rapunzel" off of the new album. Watch the 5/4 (Bridge), 4/4 (Verse), 6/8 (Chorus) alternations in the time signatures, and subtle fill differences in the verse.
Bridge:
G ---------------9---7- D -----------5-7---5--- A -5-5-5-5-8----------- E ---------------------
Verse:
G -------------------------------------------------()------------------- D -----------------------------(5-3---3----)-------()------------------- A ---3-5-(5-3-2-3-5-3-2)---3-5-(----5---5-3)---3-5-()---3-5-3-2-3-2-3-2- E -3---------------------3-------------------3-----()-3-----------------
The sections in parentheses are his fills, but since they change very often, I'm only going to mention the two most common ones, and you can figure out the rest for yourselves.
The chorus is really just a series of improvised arpeggio walks deriving themselves from the D-Bb-C progression, so it's almost impossible to give you a tablature for it. Just remember D-Bb-C and play around with it.
Enjoy, Justin Marks
