daz Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 No idea if this is the correct forum, cant make my mind up which one to post in sorry. Anywho. The famous track [i]Love will tear us apart[/i]. by [i]Joy Division[/i]. I looked it up on one of the many bass tab sites and find that people not even 100% sure that its a bass doing the main groove. Certainly sounds like Hooky to me. However apparently he appears to be playing chords on the bass in many instances ie: hitting E & A together i think, on the intro. Can anyone out there confirm this? I tried it and it sounds like my efforts on an old acoustic i used to own ie: awful. Can anyone tell me whats going on in this track. Even better would be if anyone has it in bass clef instead of tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeponehandloose Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Pick out the melody on the G string ,all the time playing open D as a drone note. Fist note is E on the G string with open D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
