Flowers | TAB
Let’s start with looking at the bass line in guitar TAB. Make sure you know what all intervals are throughout, this is very important.
So, the intervals are almost only chord notes. Some 2/9’s are added but it really is mainly triads.
The best part of the entire tune is how beat 1 of the chorus is a rest, it’s completely genius.
Make sure you play this bass line with the tune. As you listen to it, focus on what the snare sounds like sonically and what other than bass, drums and vocals are in there.
OK, so after doing this myself I figured we can do more harm than good here, so I’m gonna play just with the snare as live, we don’t have handclaps layered and just a simple chord on each snare will not get in the way, but enhance.
For the intro, verse, and bridge, we can play as the keyboards do, perhaps using some delay, chorus, or rotary effects to imitate an organ. If you have a keyboard player, try to not get in the way of them.
Here’s an intro, verse, and bridge part I worked out.
I genuinely feel that anything more than this will just get annoying, it’s all about the bass!
Here’s chorus idea 1, I’m just aiming to double up on the snare.
Here’s another chorus idea. What I’ve done here is double up on the bass for the Cmaj7 chord, and just put the same notes up an octave, aiming to enhance what the bass is playing.
Finally, here’s a chorus tag part.
Again, I’m doubling the snare. The last lick is along with the vocal melody.
Play all these parts with the original recording and then decide if you want to play more than this or want to stay as disciplined as I have described here in TAB.
