Number Of The Beast Bass Tabs
Introduction
If you are a fan of Iron Maiden, then you probably know that “Number Of The Beast” is one of their most iconic songs. The instrumental section of the song is also very memorable, especially when it comes to the bass guitar parts.
Playing this song on bass guitar requires a lot of skill and practice. But with the right guidance and resources, you can learn how to play it like a pro.
In this article, we will provide you with a comprehensive tutorial on how to play “Number Of The Beast” on bass guitar. We will also provide you with detailed bass tabs that you can use to practice and master the song.
Bass Guitar Tutorial
Before we get into the actual bass tabs, let’s go over some of the basic techniques and skills that you will need to master in order to play “Number Of The Beast” on bass guitar.
Hand Positioning
The first thing you need to master is the proper hand positioning. This includes placing your left hand on the fretboard and your right hand on the strings. Your left hand should be curved and your fingers should be pressing down on the strings with the tips of your fingers, not the pads.
Your right hand should be hovering over the strings, ready to pluck them with your fingers or with a pick. Make sure your fingers are positioned parallel to the strings, not at an angle.
Finger Placement
When playing bass guitar, you will be using all four fingers on your left hand (unless you are using a different playing style). Make sure to place your fingers in the proper position, starting with your index finger on the first fret, your middle finger on the second fret, your ring finger on the third fret, and your pinky finger on the fourth fret.
As you become more comfortable with the instrument, you can experiment with different finger placements and playing styles to find what works best for you.
Rhythm and Timing
Another important skill that you will need to master is rhythm and timing. This includes learning how to keep a steady beat and play in time with the other instruments in the song.
You can practice your rhythm and timing by using metronomes or playing along with recorded songs. Start by playing slowly and gradually increase your speed as you become more comfortable with the song.
Musical Theory
Finally, you will need to have a basic understanding of musical theory in order to play “Number Of The Beast” on bass guitar. This includes knowing how to read sheet music, understanding chord progressions and scales, and being able to improvise and play by ear.
If you are new to these concepts, don’t worry. There are plenty of resources available online that can help you learn and practice these skills.
Bass Tabs
Now that you have a basic understanding of the skills and techniques needed to play “Number Of The Beast” on bass guitar, it’s time to dive into the bass tabs themselves.
Below, you will find a detailed tablature for the entire song, broken down by section:
Verse
G|-------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------| A|-0-0-0------3-3-3------5-5-5-6-6-6-7-| E|-------3-3-3------5-5-5---------------|
The verse section is relatively simple, using a basic riff that repeats throughout the song.
Chorus
G|-------------------------| D|-------------------------| A|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-| E|-------------------------|
The chorus section is also quite simple, using a two-note riff that repeats.
Bridge
G|--------------------| D|--------------------| A|--------------------| E|-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-5-5-|
The bridge section introduces a new riff that is slightly more complex than the previous two sections.
Instrumental Section
G|------------------------------| D|------------------------------| A|-5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5--| E|-----0-0-----0-0-----0-0------|
The instrumental section is the most complex part of the song, featuring a fast-paced bassline that can be challenging to play.
Conclusion
Playing “Number Of The Beast” on bass guitar is not easy, but with practice and dedication, you can learn how to play it like a pro.
We hope that this comprehensive tutorial and bass tabs have provided you with the tools you need to master the song. Remember to take your time and practice each section until you have it perfected before moving on to the next. Good luck, and happy playing!
