'Speed Of Light' by Stratovarius - Guitar Tutorial
Gtp chords: Speed Of Light
Song lyrics:
Aight no one seems to want to tab Stratovarius' bass parts, so I guess I'll do
it. Jari usually plays on a six-string or five-string bass, but I have a four
string, and most people reading these tabs do too. If you're playing a six-string
bass, you're probably good enough to re-tab it to your liking. I'm not absolutely
sure about the tuning or technique, but it's better than nothing. I’ve never done
this before, so I'm probably not very good at it, but oh well, and I hope it's
right. (Note: to be able to fit each separate part on one tab line, I did not
leave a space in between each note unless I was indicating a longer note than a
sixteenth note, which seemed so predominant in this song that I decided to use it
as a standard, so to simplify things, double digit frets will be indicated by
brackets. I'll be working on Black Diamond, Stratosphere, SOS, and Phoenix soon.
(I just made a couple of small corrections)
