FINGER ELEVEN - "First Time - Five String" Tablature
Official FINGER ELEVEN Tablature & Sheet Music »
First Time - Finger Eleven
Most people play this song in Drop D and then half a step down…
(Db Ab Db Gb or C# G# C# F#) But, I find it a pain in the ass tuning my bass inbetween songs when I'm jammin with friends, or just having fun playing with the cd. So, I decided to tab this out in STANDARD 5 String Tuning. It may not be as fun or easy this way, but I like playing it like this instead of tuning down…
h = Hammer On
p = Pull Off
/ = Slide To Next Note
Start - Main Riff

Verse
Most tabs have this part wrong. I'm sure this is CORRECT.
You don't have to pull-off if you dont want to.

And that's it, I hope this helps all the lazy people like me who hate tuning different.
This is an AWESOME song!

Rock On!!!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FINGER ELEVEN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
