Incubus - Circles Bass Tabs

www.basstabarchive.com


Thanks to everyone who requested this song..It's nice to know that your work
goes appreciated.

So here it is, Circles.

b.t.w. The main reason I tabbed most of this song on the B and E string 
is because I saw them live and Dirk usually stuck around on the B and E string 
register, so you get a warmer, fatter sound with the higher frets.

Intro/ Verse

like i've said before, this is just the notes, i'm not trying to represent any rythm.
just listen to the song for that...

do this version of the riff 3 times

G-----------------------------
D-----------------------------
A-----5---------3-3-3-3-------
E-----------------------------
B-3-6---3-6-3-6---------------

and then do this one on the fourth time

G-----------------------------
D-----------------------------
A-----------------------------
E-----6---------3-3-3-3-------        i'm pretty sure about that G, but you can just use
B-3-6---3-6-3-6---------------         whatever note is comfortable with your ear.


Odd Riff

Ok so this riff threw me off for a little bit, but it's best if you think
of it like this..

just count the number of beats.

  1 2 3 1 2 3 4     kind of like 7/4, but it's like just weird feel,
G-----5-------5-     but this method seemed to work for me. And be sure to
D-----5-------5-     slap and pop this portion of the song, just slap the D 
A---------------     and pop the G and C chord.
E---------------
B-3-3---3-3-3---

Verse

Make sure you're insync with the bass drum on this one.

G----------------------------------------- the hammer on has to be like
D----------------------------------------- super fast because it's almost like
A----------------------------------------- a dead note but it's actually the open B.
E-----------------------13-13-8-8--------- you could probably just get away with using a dead
B-3-3-0h3\15-3-3-0h3\15-----------9-9-6-6- note if you wanted to.
                                            
Pre Chorus Riff

what i like to do is make that C kind of like a power chord and use my
15th fret G and C, and make a cool little sound. I don't think Dirk does
this but the guitar kind of covers it, so do what you want.

G---------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------
B-4-4-13-13-13-13-13-13-4-4-13-13-13-13-13-13-

Chorus

G---------------------------------------------------------------   this is a pretty cool part but
D---------------------------------------------------------------   i'm not really sure on the hammer on
A---------------------------------------------------------------   but that's the only thing that i could
E-9h10-9h10-9h10-9-9h10-9h10-9h10-9-9h10-9h10-9h10-9------------   of that he would be doing to get that sound.
B-----------------------------------------------------6-6-11-11-

Bridge

G----------------
D----------------
A----------------
E-3---6--3---6---
B---3------3---4-

Well I hope you enjoy this song, because it's just plain bad ass.. 
Once again i'm thinking of putting up Warning, because I love that song. So if you like my past
works, e-mail and i'll do it..
