Official LIVE Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song: Lightning Crashes
Band: Live
Album: Throwing Copper
tabbed by: Greg Costa (costagreg@hotmail.com)
One Tonne Turtle bassist (http://onetonneturtle.cjb.net)
I learnt this song from my bass teacher when i first started playing, but i forgot it
and came here to remember it, but Lisa Knappe's tab wasn't how i heard it, and learnt
it. It sounds good, but if you play it like this, it sounds alot better.
h = hammer on (push down on the fret to make the note sound, instead of
strumming)
>= slide UP the string
< = slide DOWN the string
Half the song is acoustic, with only guitar and vocals, but the bass comes
in
just after he sings "The baby down the hall", you can just hear it...

You have to get all the sliding right, otherwise it doesn't sound
as good. Its a really good bass tune, and they should have
recorded it louder, it's really hard to hear. As always, listen
to the song for tempo, i've tried to give you some idea of tempo
with larger gaps.
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 LIVE 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.
