Song: Thank You Artist: Led Zeppelin Album: Led Zeppelin II Tabbed by: John Prather (jnprather@aol.com) Member of the Bass Tab Archive Tabbing Army ~ http://www.basstabarchive.com I saw this song requested and always liked the bassline so I figured i'd post it! It's in standard tuning (EADG). Another great bassline by John Paul Jones. It's pretty straightforward except that there ALOT of little articulations (especially in the slides) that are great practice to learn and really add alot to the song. Most of what you can learn from someone else's basslines comes from learning all the little "licks" and "articulations" that the great ones are masters of. Therefore, i've tried to notate as best I can alot of the little things he does. Good Luck!
