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

Song

Artist: Stuart Hamm

Track: Kings Of Sleep

Album: Kings Of Sleep

5 String Bass: B,E,A,D,G

Tab: Kevin Mc Donald (Metallika5@hotmail.com)

I'm sorry i wasn't able to tab all the solo but the majority

the riffs are there. I'm nearly positive Stu uses a 5 string on this song

OR you could just drop D on a 4 string and modify the tab yourself:-)

I Didn't tab the timing or anything like that but just listen to the cd to get

it I hope to have the rest tabbed in a while. I Hope this will do till then.

Thanks. p.s if the tab lines are too long paste to wordpad and increse the print margin.

H:Hammer On

P:Pull Off

\:Slide Up

/:Slide Down

S : Slap

{5}: Natural Harmonic

~ : Let the note(s) Ring
