To the poster requesting Soundgarden...
I have worked out basslines for several Soundgarden songs. Some I know are
right, and the rest I kinda gleaned by copping the guitar lick. (Many
Soundgarden basslines are just the guitar riff an octave down. Produces that
super-heavy wall-of-sound effect...)
These I'm reasonably sure of:
"Gun:" (in 4/4) -- Tune down to D, and then...
| e e e e e e e e | e e e e e e e e | e e e e e e q | e e e e e e q |
D-:-0-2-3-0-2-3-0-0-|-0-2-3-0-2-3-2-0-|-3-2-0-2-2-2-r-|-3-2-0-2-2-2-r-:|
"Power Trip:" (Triplet in 4/4) -- Plain E tuning.
| q e.s q q | | q e.s q. e.|
A-:-----5-7---| (main riff) |-----5-7----| (hang phrase-the q. is really
E-:-0-5-----5-| |-0-5------5-| q+1/3, not q+1/2)
"Loud Love:" (4/4) -- Plain E tuning.
| s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s |
D-:-----5-----------------------5---|
A-:---7-----5-7---4-7---5-7---7---r-|
E-:-0-----0-----0-----0-----0-------|
"Outshined:" -- Down to D again.
G-:---------------5-------|
D-:-0-0-3-5-3-0-3---5-3-0-|
"Get On the Snake:" -- Plain E tuning.
| e e e q e q
D-:---------2-0-|---------2-0--|
A-:-2-0---------|-2-0---------:|
E-:-----3-0-----|-----3-0------|
"Room a Thousand Years Wide:" (6/4) -- Tune down to D...
| e e e e q q e e e |
G-:---------------2-2-2-| (I realize it doesn't add up to 6, but trust me--
D-:-0-0-0-0-0-2-0-------| ride the open D until it fits, and then play
the other notes. It *is* in 6)
On the two where I haven't included time, it's because I can't quite figure it
out. Give the songs a listen and the notes will fall into place on their own.
If anyone out there knows any others (especially "Big Dumb Sex," "Flower,"
"Hunted Down," "HIV Baby," "Nothing to Say," or "I Awake,") *please* let me
know.

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 SOUNDGARDEN 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.
