White Rabbit Bass Tabs: How to Play It Perfectly


White Rabbit Bass Tabs: How to Play It Perfectly

Introduction

White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane is one of the most iconic and recognizable songs in the history of rock music. The song, which was released back in 1967, features one of the most memorable basslines in rock history. If you’re looking to learn how to play White Rabbit on bass, then you’re in the right place.

What You Need to Know Before You Start

Before we dive into the tabs, there are a few things that you should keep in mind:

  • Practice makes perfect: Learning how to play any song on bass takes time and practice, so be patient and consistent in your approach.
  • Get familiar with the song: Listen to the song several times, paying close attention to the bassline.
  • Use a metronome: White Rabbit has a slow and steady tempo, so it’s important to get the timing just right. Use a metronome to keep you on track.

White Rabbit Bass Tabs

Now, let’s get started with the tabs. Here is the bassline for the first verse:

Verse 1

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

To play this section, start by playing the open G string and then move to the open D string. After that, play the third fret on the A string and follow it up with the open A string. For the final four notes, you’ll need to play the 5th fret on the E string, the open E string, the 5th fret again, and finally the open E string once more.

Here’s the bassline for the chorus:

      E|---3-5-----5-3---|---3-5-----5-3---|---3-5-----5-3---|---3-5-----5-3---|
  

The chorus features the same bassline as the first verse.
