The Pressman Bass

(ver. 3)
Primus

			     The Pressman - Primus
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Tuning: Standard

I can't be bothered writing out which variation goes where and when but here they all are:

Main drone:
G|-0-------------|
D|-5^-5-5--6-5---|
A|---------------|
E|---------------|
   V
Hit the two Gs in a flamenco strum but try and hit the open G softer and bend the 5th on 
D string

Variation 1:
G|-0-------------5/10h11---|
D|-5^-5-5--6-5-----------9-|
A|-------------------------|
E|-------------------------|

If you have a high C string (or simply want to tune all your strings up) it is easier to 
this variation bit as:
C|---------------0h5h6---|
G|-0-------------------4-|
D|-5^-5-5--6-5-----------|
A|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|

Variation 2:
G|-0------------5-3-|
D|-5^-5-5--6-5--5-3-|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|
   V            V V
Sounds best if you downstroke all flamenco strums for a more aggressive tone but then 
your choice.


So there you go, these are all the three parts that he plays, you can listen out for 
Simple as pie.
