            Shallow Be Thy Game
By the Red Hot Chili Peppers
>From the album One Hot Minute
Tabbed by Martin Peters
B = Bend string a 1/2 step

Bass

Note the bass doubles the guitar during the actual intro, 
with some effects like Auto-wah and Dynamic Flilter, but I thinks 
it's too hard to play exactly. 
But anyway, the line goes something like this:
