Song: Getting In Tune (bass) Artist: The Who Album: Who's next Tabbed by Nick "Thunder Fingers" Pinheiro
(Nickovskybr@yahoo.com). OK, here's the bass tab for Getting In Tune
(great song, isn't it?). I didn't put any time signature because I
find it quite boring to do, but I did take the time to divide it in
measures (the song is in 4/4, by the way). I only put the simplified names of the
chords because I didn't really feel like finding out the exact chord
construction details; I'm a bassist, for Christ's sake!!!
Anyway, I read on BPmag that this song was
used as a Berklee bass class lesson, so enjoy.

and Entwistle does some new variations. From now on, they play
everything 1 tone (2 frets) higher, so watch out. 02:12 G G |---/12-------------------------|---12-12------------------------------| |-------10h12-----10-10-9-------|---------10h12---------10---10-9------| |10------------10--------12-(11)|10-------------10----3-----------12h11| |-------------8-----------------|------------------10\-----8-----------| G C |---------12----------12----12----|----5-5--5-5-3| |---12----------12----------------|--------------| |10----10----10----10----10----10\|3-3-----3-----| |---------------------------------|--------------| G D |---12----------12------------------|-------------------| |------10-12-------10-12-------12---|---12-11-10--------| |10----------10----------10-10----12|------------12-----| |-----------------------------------|10-------------(10)| >From this point on, the song starts
repeating (1 tone higher, always). Although there are some little variations,
you've already got enough to play the whole song. Also, I'm almost sure that he does a
three-notes piece of scale in that part where the chord progression goes F, F,
G#, A# but I just couldn't figure it out. If you have it, or any
correction, please send it to me or to the site. Tabbed by Nick "Thunder Fingers" Pinheiro
