Description
Notes From John
BPM = 145. Swung. The bass sits out the slow intro and comes in on the first verse. Quarter-note roots with little walk-ups into each change. The choruses add triplet pickups. The last chorus climbs a triplet run into a held Am7. It ends on one low G.
For the player
This part is adapted for bass guitar from a programmed synth bass line. Wait out the slow intro and let Mariah set it up. Keep the quarters plain and stay under the vocal. Save the swing for the triplet pickups and the late run. At BPM = 145 the job is the feel.
Bass Guitar Tablature for “All I Want For Christmas” by Mariah Carey.
