Music is My Radar

Blur
Bass Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

This song has to be one of Blurs best, ‘a cracking slice of voodoo jazz’. I think I’ve

tabbed it pretty well but if you find any corrections please tell me. Unfortunately I

couldn’t work out the most interesting part of the song where the guitar and bass scale

together so again if anyone can work that out please tell me or submit it. Have fun!!

(Step on the fuzz pedal for this next riff if you have access to one. It sounds like

the guitar is asking a question and the bass is answering)
