I put it up here for the ones who want to play/cover this song with more attractive groove :) You play "Bridge to Riff x" between each of the appropriate riffs...Also a note for the re—tabbing of the original: I can not agree with Bobby Lukens on that second riff. Though the guitars mute at that point, I still hear the C# which our friend has left out in Riff 2. Moreover, I checked that riff for the guitar in OLGA, that C# *is* there. But one—octave lower E is right on that riff.Rest 6 measuresRiff A: Bridge to Riff A:|———————————————————————————————————| |—————————————||—2—2—2—————————————————————————————| |———72———————||———————2/4—4—4———4—————6———————————| |—7———————————||———————————————4———4—4———4—5—5—5—5—| |—————————————|Riff B: Bridge to Riff B:|———————————————————————————————————| |—————————————||———————————————————————————————————||———7—————————||—7—7———74—4—4———4—————6———————————||—7———————————||—————7—————————4———4—4———4—5—5—5—5—||—————————————|Riff C: Bridge to Riff C:|———————————————————————————————————||—————————————||—————2—————————————————————————————||—————————————||———————2/4—4—4———4—————6———————————||—7———————————||—0—0———————————4———4—4———4—5—5—5—5—||———5 Tablature player for this song: About Pixies

The Pixies are an American alternative rock band that formed in Boston in 1986. The group disbanded in 1993 under acrimonious circumstances but reunited in 2004. Black Francis (lead vocals and guitar), Joey Santiago (guitar), Kim Deal (bass), and David Lovering (drums) have been the band's continual members. While the Pixies found only modest success in their home country, they were significantly more successful in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe, although never achieving mainstream success with their studio albums.

How to Read Bass Tabs

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:

1. The Basics

• Strings and Frets:

  Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:

  • The top line is the highest-pitched string (G on a 4-string bass).
  • The bottom line is the lowest-pitched string (E on a 4-string bass).

  Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:

  G|-------------------| D|-------------------| A|---3---------------| E|-------------------|

  This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.

2. Common Techniques

• Hammer-On (h):

  Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.

  G|-------------------| D|-------5h7---------|
• Pull-Off (p):

  Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.

  G|-------------------| D|-------7p5---------|
• Slide (/ or \):

  Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.

  G|-------------------| D|-------5/7---------|

3. Advanced Techniques

• Bend (b): Push the string up or down to raise the pitch. Example: G|-------7b9---------|
• Vibrato (~): Shake the string slightly after playing a note to create a vibrating sound. Example: G|-------7~----------|
• Muted Notes (x): Rest your finger lightly on the string without pressing a fret and pluck for a percussive "click" sound.

4. Rhythm and Timing

Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.

5. Slap and Pop

• Slap (s): Strike the string with the side of your thumb for a percussive sound.
• Pop (p): Pull the string away from the fretboard and let it snap back.

Practice Makes Perfect

Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸

Comments christophec 7 years ago Report this comment Permlink Quote Riff 3 is, I think, incorrect. 4 and 2 should be on the A string, not EOn E string : it's 9 (in place of 4) and 7 (in place of 2)
