[Transcend]

well i have a tab for a song written out but i wasnt to change the 6 string guitar (clean part) to 4 string bass but i have no knowledge or experience doing this and would like to know if anyone could help???

[stuckin93]

i don't really get the question.  :?

it wont stop me putting my opionion in though   :lol:

If you have put chords to your guitar part thats written & if your trying to put a bass part to it the easiest way is to start by just playing the root notes of the chords in time with the rhythm

- otherwise (and the way i play bass) you can play whatever comes into your head & as long as you stick to the right pentatonic scale you cant go wrong!!!    :twisted:

or you could copy the guitar riff!

i think really you need to know what your trying to achieve sound wise. let me know if i have gone off track & what you really needed to know!  :lol:

Just to clarify:

Do you have the professionally transcribed tab from a book or magazine?

Do you want to play the clean guitar part on the bass or do you want to play a bassline?

At worst just follow the chord changes playing the fundamental in the bass.

and i want someone to rewrite it onto a 4 string bass part

[Sekhmet]

OK basically the bottom 4 strings (c, g, c, f) on the tab represent your 4 bass strings, asuming you've tuned it the same as the guitar.

All you need to do is take the open notes played on the a and play 4th fret on the f

Everything else is the same, hope this helps.
