Gary’s Song (Gary Come Home)

Some of the movements on this are a little awkward, which makes me think it was originally played 
on a BEAD tuned bass. If you’d like to see a version for the alternate tuning, let me know.

Gary’s Song Bass Tabs: Learn to Play Like a Pro

How to Play Gary’s Song on Bass Guitar

Introduction

If you’re a fan of SpongeBob SquarePants, you’ve probably heard Gary’s Song. It’s a beautiful and melodic tune that is perfect for the bass guitar. However, if you’ve never played the bass before, it can be a little intimidating. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you learn to play Gary’s Song like a pro.

Getting Started: What You’ll Need

Before we dive into the tabs, let’s talk about what you’ll need. First, you’ll need a bass guitar. If you don’t own one, you can rent one from a music shop. You’ll also need an amp, a cable to connect your bass to your amp, and a tuner. A metronome can also be helpful to keep your timing in check.

The Tabs

Now it’s time to get into the tabs. Below are the tabs for the main riff of Gary’s Song:

		G|----------------------------------|
		D|--------0-0-0--------2-2-2--------|
		A|------2--------2----3--------3----|
		E|--0-3--------------0-3------------|

As you can see, the main riff is not too complicated. It consists of four bars and uses mostly quarter notes, with a few eighth notes thrown in. Start by playing each note separately until you get the hang of it, and then try playing the entire riff all the way through.

Next, let’s take a look at the chorus:

		G|--------------------------------------------------------|
		D|--------------------------------------------------------|
		A|-------5-5-----------3-3-----------2-2-------0-0------|
		E|--0-0--------0-0-0---------0-0-0--------0-0-----------|

The chorus is a little trickier than the main riff, but it’s still manageable. It uses a combination of quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes. Again, start by playing each note separately until you get the hang of it, and then try playing the entire chorus all the way through.

Transition Words

Now that you’ve learned the tabs for Gary’s Song, let’s talk about some transition words you can use to make your playing smoother. These transition words can be used to connect different parts of the song:

Transition Word 1: This word can be used to signal a change in the song.
Transition Word 2: This word can be used to indicate a return to a previous section.
Transition Word 3: This word can be used to signal the beginning of a new musical idea.
Transition Word 4: This word can be used to indicate a change in tempo or dynamics.

By using transition words, you can make your playing sound more polished and professional.

Conclusion

Learning to play Gary’s Song on bass guitar is not as difficult as it may seem. With a little practice and patience, you too can play like a pro. Remember to start slow, use a metronome, and use transition words to make your playing sound smooth. Good luck!
