Song: Dig
Band: Mudvayne
Inst: Bass

Tabbed by:Greg

  Hey guys, I got a ton of time on my hands now so now I'm gonna tab every Mudvayne
song I know because I've never seen a tab on the net thats close to how I play em.
So I figured I'd start with good old Dig.
  Another thing, I play lead guitar and I've been playing for about 6 years now, but
I love playing Mudvayne on bass. So I just learned every Mudvayne song off the new
album, and now I can tell what the bass lines are almost exactly, maybe its because
I know what the guitar's doing, and I can kinda "cancel out" the guitar sound. So if
anyone has access to guitars n stuff, I suggest you try it. It helps a ton.

And if anyone has any questions, comments, or requests, please feel free to email me
@ pelvic_thrust2001@hotmail.com or if ya want, add me on msn and I could play some
stuff through the comp, so ya know how it sounds or if your confused or anything.
THX

  Ok, anyway less talk, more sweet Dig tabs.

Oh yeah, If you wanna see a sweet Dig video (It shows Ryan like the whole verse, real
close up) go on Kazaa and download Dig Live in Germany. Its by far the best Dig video
I've seen, besides live of course.

Tuning:
E                 s=slap        this is like the only mudvayne song that has
B                 p=pluck       consistent timing, so I put in the 4 beat thing
F#
B

Intro      (I spread it out more so it doesnt get so cluttered)
                                  v = 4 beats (to make it even easier)

Thats the whole song, again if you have any questions, comments, requests, please
email me, or if you are confused or need me to play a part for ya, add me to your
MSN thing if ya want, I dont mind

Thanks for checkin out the tab
Greg


If you need me to play the fills like slower or something, so ya know how to do them,
(now that i know em like PERFECT), talk to me on
msn, and hopefully you have speakers so i can play for ya!!!


If you have the dig dvd, i strongly advise you to change the angle (so it shows ryan
the whole time) and watch the studio fills, you WILL SEE that they're dead on.

He does some of the fills different live so here they are)
