Melvins - Sky Pup Bass

What a cool song.... the bass line sounds really great, and it's 
not too difficult to play...

I have to admit I didn't made it out all by myself, I had a 
little help from my teacher, Mark Hebert.

Intro
G|----------------|---------------------|---------------|
D|.---------------|--------------------.|---------------|
A|.---------------|--------------------.|---------------|
E|--3-3-4-333-4-3-|-2--2-3-2-2-222-3-2--|-0-------------|

Repeat the first two bars four times, then on the fifth time, 
skip the second bar to play an open G instead.


Riff 1
G|---------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----7---7-5-----------------------------------------3---|
A|-------------7-6---5---4-5-4----------------2-3-4-5-5-5--|

Riff 2

Bend the last note a little

Riff 3

D|-----7-5---5-7-9---------------9-8----------------------3-----|
A|---------7------------------------------------2--3--4--5-5----|
E|-5---------------------------------3-3-xx23----------------5--|

Then, you play Riff 2 again to complete the cycle.

This riff sounds so good when done right. It's probably
the hardest riff of the song, but you can easily replace it 
with Bridge 2 if you really can't play it.
