_ [E] Lessons.
Hi, and welcome to my tutorial on how to play the Ghostbusters theme on bass guitar. _
The bass is tuned E, A, [D] D, G, [G] _ [N] or standard tuning for four string bass.
_ We're going to start the tune with the intro that sounds like something out of an old horror movie.
It's going to sound something like this.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[F] _ _ [E] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [F] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ In order to play that, we're going to go to a B on the 7th fret on the E [B] string,
_ _ _ _ _ then to a [G] G on the D string, 5th fret, _ _ _ _
F sharp [Bb] on the 4th fret of [Gb] that string, _ _ _
_ _ an F at fret 8 [F]
of the A string,
_ _ _ an [E] E at fret 7,
_ _ _ _ [D] a D at fret 7 on the G string, _ _ _
_ and an A sharp at fret 8 on the [Bb] D string. _ _ _ _
Here we [Ab] go.
_ [B] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] For the verses and chorus, we'll be repeating a melody that goes like [A] this.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _
_ [B] _ To _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] play that melody, we'll go to the E string, 7th fret, hit it twice,
_ _ _ the A string, [Dm] 5th fret, then to the 6th fret,
[Eb] _ _ _
[Ab] then to the D string, 4th [Gb] fret, _ _ _
_ then we'll move to the D string, 7th fret, hit it [A] twice,
_ _ and to the [E] A string, twice, _ _ at the 7th fret.
[D] _
That's going to sound like [B] this. _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ And then we'll [B] play it again, but we'll change it at the end.
It'll sound like this. _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ We'll play those two melodies back to back and repeat them, like this.
[B] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ [Gb] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ Our next part is a music break that sounds like this.
_ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ For that part, we'll play this.
[B] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Now that's all played on the E string.
We're going to go to the 7th fret, [B] once,
_ _ _ 5th [Am] fret, _ _ and then we're going to strike it five times, _ _ _
[Ab] then we'll move to the 4th fret, once,
and _ _ _ [D] then open [E] once, and follow it with five more hits.
_ _ [Em] And we'll repeat that twice.
It goes like this.
[B] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ We have one more part to learn, and that's the bridge.
It'll sound like this.
[B] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ In [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[A] _ order to play [Ab] that, we'll go to the 7th fret on the E string,
_ [B] _ and then we'll move down to the [A] 5th fret,
then _ _ we'll move back to the 7th fret and play it twice.
_ _ So we're going to do that three times.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ On the fourth time around, we're going to play the 7th fret, E string,
_ _ and then the [Ab] 5th fret, [D] A string.
_ _ [B] Like this.
[D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Then we'll move to the 7th fret on the A [E] string, play it twice, _ _ _
[A] and then to the 5th fret on the E string, play it twice.
So [B] here's the whole thing.
_ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [D]
And that covers the main parts of the song. _
