Here's an arrangement of AYBCS for bands that have only two guitarists,
and thus the lead guitar has to play both parts while the rhythm guy
chunks away at the chords.  Admittedly a tad weak in the middle section,
but it sounds pretty good in my band.

I learned this by taping the chords ***very*** slow and playing until I
knew it at that speed.  Once I had it learned, it sped up pretty easily
for me.

What a masterpiece this is.  Aren't those chords in the middle section
amazing?  When it gets back to the 'E' chord (e.g., "You may be
awoken"), it sure doesn't feel like the home key, does it?  But it all
works beautifully.  Cosmic bass playing by Mr. Mc
Cartney, too.  Enjoy.

(B = bend up first note to second... R = release first note to second...
  in both cases pick only first note)



Magic E Chord for use in AYBCS.  Note that this is a real open,
twangy sounding E5 chord... sounds best on a Rickenbacker 325!
Also sounds great in Day Tripper.

Well, in one of my fits of insanity, I arranged the Beatles' tune "Blackbird"
for bass.  The following is the arrangement, which combines the vocal line
and the guitar line.  I've worked on it on and off for about a week, and can
play it almost up to speed.  You will notice that some of the rhythms don't
add up per measure.  This is due to some notes in the chords having different
lenghts, which I can't show in tab.  Also, '$' means "D.S. Sign" and '@' is
a fermata.  The arrangement is in the original key (G), which means I
use 24 frets.  If you don't have 24 frets on your bass, just move everything
down a couple of frets.
 
Enjoy!
 
Erik
