The Ultimate Guide to Learning Music Theory
Introduction
Learning to play your favorite songs on bass guitar can be a rewarding experience. However, without the right resources, it can also be frustrating and time-consuming. That’s where MyMusicTheory comes in.
At MyMusicTheory, we provide step-by-step instructions and bass tabs to help you learn how to play your favorite songs. In this article, we’ll be focusing on how to play ‘Down With The Sickness’ by Disturbed on bass guitar.
What You’ll Need
To get started, you’ll need the following:
- A bass guitar
- An amplifier
- The ‘Down With The Sickness’ bass tabs
- A metronome
If you’re a beginner, we recommend starting with a simpler song before attempting ‘Down With The Sickness.’ However, if you’re up for the challenge, let’s get started!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Before we get started, make sure your bass guitar is properly tuned. Once that’s done, let’s take a look at the bass tabs for the intro:
[Intro]
G|———————————————————————————|
D|———————————————————————————|
A|———————————————————————————|
E|—0000—0000—0000—0000—|
The intro is relatively simple. The ‘0000’ on the E string indicates that you should play an open note four times. Make sure to keep a steady rhythm using your metronome.
Next, let’s take a look at the bass tabs for the verse:
[Verse]
G|——————————————————————————————————————|
D|——————————————————————————————————————|
A|———33333333———11111111———33333333———|
E|—000—————————————————————————————|
The verse is a bit more complex, but still manageable. The ‘3’ and ‘1’ on the A string indicate that you should play the third and first frets, respectively. The ‘0’ on the E string indicates an open note.
After the verse comes the chorus:
[Chorus]
G|———————————————————————————————|
D|———————————————————————————————|
A|———33333333——————————11111111——|
E|—000——————————33333333———————|
Again, the chorus is similar to the verse in terms of complexity. Make sure to keep a steady rhythm and follow the bass tabs closely.
Conclusion
Learning how to play ‘Down With The Sickness’ by Disturbed on bass guitar is challenging, but with the right resources, it’s achievable. By following our step-by-step instructions and using the bass tabs provided, you’ll be playing the song in no time.
