Title: Here Today Bass Tab Post by: MyGlove on March 22, 2012, 09:29:10 PM Ok i swear i have tried every single combination of notes possible (yes i mean EVERY ONE) trying to play along to Here Today on my bass. and i cannot get it. Did Brian invent a note or something while recording it? I mean did he somehow get an H sharp out of the bass? cuz i can't figure it out. Someone help if you have any info please :)

higher A - (normal) A - D - A - B - E - B - A - D higher A - (normal) A - E - A - B - E - B - A - E second part: D - C# - B - A - Ab - Ab - Db - Db - F# - F# - F# - F - E - E - E - B - A - B D - C# - B - A - Ab - Ab - Db - Db - F# Db - F# - Ab Db - Ab - A Db - A - B Db - B - C# E - C# - (descending bass notes) then the bass follows the main bass line: A - G - F# - F - E - F# - A - B (3 times) 4th time: A - G - F# - F - E - E - E - Ab - B - (higher) E - B - A - E - F# I'm pretty sure this is correct. Hope this helps, if there are any questions, ask them. Paul Title: Re: Here Today Bass Tab Post by: Paul2010 on March 23, 2012, 01:51:49 AM I see there is a link posted as well. Hopefully the combination of the video and the note names provide you with enough info to figure out the bass line!
Title: Re: Here Today Bass Tab Post by: Manchini on March 23, 2012, 03:59:29 PM Another funky part of the song, and I may not even be correct about this, but in the middle section where it breaks down, it may do something like this:
Bm7/A . . . A . Bm7/A . . . E/G . . . A7/G . E/G . . . (x2) (Right before it goes into the descending bass) So the bass stays on a G even though there's a G# in the E chord. I haven't even confirmed that, just a suspicion that might relate to your curiosity.

Title: Re: Here Today Bass Tab Post by: The Shift on March 24, 2012, 12:44:55 AM Okay, we've had "Lonely Summer" asking for tabs for TLOS and WIRWFC, and now "Littebird" asking for tabs for Here Today.
I wish all these members of the new Beach Boys touring band would simple y use their real names, post the entire 50th anniversary tour set list, and ask for this help in a more honest way. That or just ask the old guy sat at piano, front-centre stage at rehearsals - he wrote the stuff in the first place! ;D Title: Re: Here Today Bass Tab Post by: Micha on March 25, 2012, 11:56:27 AM Actually this is my favorite BB song. The other day I found a great perfomnace by Mike&Bruce's Band:
