Title: Alright
Album: Travelling Without Moving

Bass Player: Stuart Zender
This Transcription: Lawrence Docherty

Dedications: This ones for Tomsk, and for everyone else from around the
world who mailed me to ask (you know who you are) :o)

This is a deceptively easy number. Keep those disco octaves rock-steady, and
in the sliding section try and add a bit of swing
into the bassline, get yourself grooving ;o) Any comments as usual to my new
address: loafer@larry.prestel.co.uk

Brief key:   3/5 means slide from fret 3 to 5, X means muted note on
corresponding string,
             3h5 means hammer-on from fret 3 to fret 5


Intro. (Note - all notes softly plucked (I use my thumb for this section)
and each note not marked X must last!!!)
       (There are some stray muted notes in here as well, listen to the
record for timing!)

        X                 X                  X                 X
|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|

|3-------|--------|3/5-----|--------|3-------|--------|3/5-----|------2-|
|--------|-3------|--------|5-------|--------|-3------|--------|5-------|
...

then into...

Main Riff. (Note - the octaves are all played Stacatto, ie abruptly or
sharply. Use thumb and middle fingers, its the easiest)
           (way to play these disco-type things. Some of the notes are slid
onto: I'll mark those with a *. Listen to the)
           (record, you'll know what I mean. This riff crops up a lot
throughout the song. I'll only write it down once though.)

          *        *        *
|-5-5-5-5|--------|-7-7-7-7|-------4|
|--------|-5-5-5-5|--------|-7-7-7--|
|3-3-3-3-|--------|5-5-5-5-|------2-|
|--------|3-3-3-3-|--------|5-5-5---| repeat lots of times :)


Variations on main riff. (Note - played later on in the song. Various ones,
the three main ones are here. Fiddle with these)
         (to get the rest!)


(first one)
          *              *            *
|-5-5-5-5|--------------|-7-7-5h7-5h7|-----------4|

The End. Same as the start but play the notes Stacatto a couple of times
instead of once softly. No tab required ;)
