Too Much As played by Dave Mattews Band on
'Crash' Transcribed at 11:23pm, October 31, 1997 by
Cody Rahn (Elaboration is welcome) \=slide up to/from /slide down to/from h=hammer p=pulloff X=dead note (?)=Last sounding of this note held through
here. This is a good song to play just for
grooving, especially with buddies since it's not too complicated, and fairly
easy to put together. This is about as easy as Stefans bass lines get,
IMO. The man just grooves. Given the date I'm doing this, I ought to be
tabbing Halloween..... Ok, enough ranting. The intro. ***** Intro ***** 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2
& 3 & 4 & G|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
E|---2-----------3-------(3)/7-------|------------------(7)------7\------| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2

D|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
E|---2-----------3-------(3)/6-------|------------------(7)-----/14\-----| Ok. Now, the verse riff. Again, infinite
variations. I'll just write enough of them to get you through the first
verse, and you can just repeat them. That's what I do, because there
are just too many. These particular variations are played in
the beginning before lyrics come in. ***** Verse ***** 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2

E|---2----------(2)------------------|---2----------(2)------------------| Straight in..... This riff is repeated, slightly varied,
until the intro riff is played again. The third important riff in the song
is the bridge riff with the cajun-sounding voilin stuff. 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2

E|---3-------2-------0---------------| And back into the verse riff. Quite a
groovin' song! BTW, this song is played on a 6-string, but
I arranged it for a four string since there were no discernable lower-than-E
notes. Return to my DMB
